Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 4 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- Combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Divide the cream cheese mixture into two bowls. In one bowl, mix in the peanut butter. In the other, mix in the mashed bananas and 1/2 cup caramel sauce.
- Pour the banana mixture over the crust, then carefully spoon the peanut butter mixture on top. Swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then carefully run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen. Cool for 1 hour longer, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
