    No Bake Cheesecake Crust

    The crust for this quick banana dessert is made from some crushed up cookie crumbs mixed with a mixture of butter and golden syrup.

    What type of cookie you use for the crust will partly depend on where in the world you live as it is easy to get different ingredients in your grocery store.

    In North America, I would recommend using Graham Crackers. If you are in Australia or the UK, I would go with Digestive Biscuits.

    To make the crust, first you need to crush up the cookies. To do this I usually put them into a ziploc bag and give them a good bash/roll with the rolling pin.

    You could also whizz them up in your food processor, but really it takes just a couple of minutes with the rolling pin and you don't need to wash up the food processor afterwards!

    Once you have your cookie crumbs, tip them into a bowl.

    Next melt the butter and golden syrup together in a saucepan over a low heat and then pour the mixture over the cookie crumbs.

    Can't get golden syrup? You could use honey or corn syrup as a substitute.

    Now mix it all together and tip the crumb mixture into a 9 inch tart pan. I highly recommend you use one with a removable base, as it will make serving this homemade no bake cheesecake a whole lot easier.

    Gently press down the mixture with the back of a spoon to press down evenly over the base and sides.

    Then put the base in the fridge to chill until you are ready to add the filling.

    No Bake Cheesecake Filling

    Making the filling for this fresh banana cream cheesecake is also super easy.

    Ingredients for no bake cheesecake filling

    Tip the marscapone cheese, cream and sugar into a bowl and mix it together until well mixed and smooth. Then pour in some lemon juice and continue to stir until it is smooth.

    Now slice a couple of bananas into the filling mixture and stir them in.

    Make sure you use nice firm bananas. Unlike a banana bread where you want your bananas to be turning brown and soft, for this simple no bake cheesecake you want them to be firm so they don't go mushy.

    Spoon it into the crumb case and smooth it down with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle over some grated dark chocolate (it is easier to grate chocolate if it has been in the fridge first) and chill it in the fridge until it is ready to eat.
