How To Make chocolate banana cheesecake

  • 1
    In large bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs with sugar and ginger. Add butter and mix well until all is incorporated.
  • 2
    Butter a baking dish (I used a 9x13). Pour in graham cracker mixture and press it down tightly and along the sides, trying to be as even as possible.
  • 3
    Store this in the freezer while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
  • 4
    Beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Cut open vanilla bean and scrape out the insides into the cream cheese. Beat until incorporated.
  • 5
    Add the pudding mix (add as powder, not as prepared pudding). Beat until mixed together. Pour in the condensed milk and beat for 3-4 minutes.
  • 6
    Scoop cheese into baking pan. Spread it out evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in fridge overnight.
  • 7
    When ready to serve, grate chocolate over the top.
