Toasted, Salted Cashew Praline-Vanilla Wafer Crust<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.<\/li>\n
  2. Combine vanilla wafer crumbs, cashew praline, and light brown sugar in a food processor with a few light pulses.<\/li>\n
  3. Drizzle in melted brown butter and vanilla extract as you’re pulsing, until crust holds together slightly when squeezed.<\/li>\n
  4. Press the crust on the bottom and up the side of a lightly buttered 9-inch springform pan, using the bottom and side of a small glass to really pack it in.<\/li>\n
  5. Place in preheated oven and bake for 5 – 7 minutes.<\/li>\n
  6. Remove and let cool.<\/li>\n
  7. Do not turn oven off, keep it at 350F for baking the cheesecake.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Caramelized Banana Cheesecake Filling<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Combine cream cheese and sugar in the bowl of a stand-mixer (or in a large bowl if using a hand-mixer) and cream together until smooth.<\/li>\n
    2. Add eggs, one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next.<\/li>\n
    3. Make sure to scrape down the bowl in between each egg.<\/li>\n
    4. Add sour cream, heavy cream, vanilla, lemon juice, and liqeuer (if using) and blend until smooth and creamy.<\/li>\n
    5. Gently fold in caramelized bananas.<\/li>\n
    6. Wrap outside of springform pan, from the bottom up, in tin foil (this prevents water from seeping into the pan).<\/li>\n
    7. Pour batter into prepared crust and tap the pan on the counter a few times to bring all air bubbles to the surface.<\/li>\n
    8. Place pan into a larger pan and pour boiling water into the larger pan until halfway up the side of the cheesecake pan.<\/li>\n
    9. Bake 70 minutes, until it is almost done – but jiggly in the center.<\/li>\n
    10. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake finish baking in the cooling oven for one hour.<\/li>\n
    11. This prevents cracks in the cheesecake.<\/li>\n
    12. After one hour is up, remove the cheesecake from oven and lift carefully out of water bath.<\/li>\n
    13. Let it finish cooling on the counter, and then cover and put in the fridge to chill for several hours to overnight.<\/li>\n
    14. Once fully chilled, it is ready to serve.<\/li>\n
    15. Serve with your favorite caramel sauce, toffee bits, whipped cream, bruleed banana slices*..or just enjoy as is :).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      * To make bruleed banana slices..cut a banana into slices, any way you want. Sprinkle the cut sides, generously, with granulated sugar, and caramelize with a kitchen torch, or place on a lined sheet pan under the broiler, keeping a close eye on them so they don’t burn.<\/p>\n

      Caramelized Bananas<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Heat a large heavy saute pan over medium heat, until hot, but not smoking.<\/li>\n
      2. Sprinkle sugar around the pan and drizzle with corn syrup.<\/li>\n
      3. Cook, without stirring, just gently shaking the pan if some areas are turning color quicker than other areas, until whole mixture turns a golden amber color, about 6-8 minutes.<\/li>\n
      4. Stir in butter until smooth (caramel will sizzle), then add chopped bananas and cook until they’re caramelized but still slightly firm, about 4 -5 minutes.<\/li>\n
      5. Pour into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap so the caramel doesn’t dry out, until cool and ready to fold into cheesecake batter.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Salted Cashew Praline<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Heat a large heavy saute pan over medium heat, until hot, but not smoking. Sprinkle sugar around the pan and drizzle with corn syrup.<\/li>\n
        2. Cook, without stirring, just gently shaking the pan if some areas are turning color quicker than other areas, until whole mixture turns a golden amber color, about 8 minutes.<\/li>\n
        3. Remove from the heat and add cashews; stir until they’re completely coated.<\/li>\n
        4. Cool on parchment lined pan.<\/li>\n
        5. Store in an airtight container.\u00a0Yield: about 1 1\/3 cups cashew praline.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
