No Bake Banana Rum Cheesecake is the tastiestway to get dessert on the table quickly!
Since I’m not a baker I like to find recipes that I can impress my guests with that even I can pull off. ThisNo Bake Banana Rum Cheesecake definitely fits the bill. For one: it doesn’t require baking (hence the name),and for two: with a quick banana rum topping, this cheesecake seems like it was bought at a bakery instead of made in only minutes.
All you need to do is mix together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and some sugar and press it into a springform pan to make the crust. I like to usefour of these 4 1/2″ pans to make them individual – a big individual portion but that’s how I roll – but this recipe will also work perfectly in a regular sized 9″ springform pan.
Press in the crumbs in the bottom of the pan nice and thick and then spoon in the filling. I mixed a little bit of rum in this filling–not rum extract–but dark rum. But if you do want to keep this alcohol free you can substitute a halfteaspoon of rum extract instead.
While the cheesecake is firming up in the fridge, you can make the boozy banana topping. This topping is almost like what you’d make for bananas foster – one of my favorite desserts – but instead of ice cream were going to spoon it over our no-bake cheesecake. It’sbutter, brown sugar, rum and bananas cooked together for a few minutes… and that’s all there is to it! You can make these the day before and then make the topping right before serving.
Even though theseNo Bake Banana Rum Cheesecake won’t take you long to make, you don’t have to tell anyone that. Let your guests think you baked all day!
This is a tastiest way to get dessert on the table quickly!
