Banoffee Cheesecake; a lusciously creamy no-bake cheesecake, full of fresh bananas and sticky toffee sauce, on top of a buttery biscuit base! Move over Banoffee Pie!

If any dessert ticks all the boxes for pure indulgence, it has to be the banoffee pie. Both light and rich at the same time, with creamy plainness and sticky sweetness, silky smoothness and pleasant crunch. It covers all the bases a dessert needs to cover.

There is great debate over whether this pud is an American or British creation. However there is often little debate about whether it’s a tasty treat or not, I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who isn’t at least a little partial to this pie.

What can one do to improve an already great dessert? Turn it into a cheesecake, DUH.

The main creamy component of banoffee pie is so close to a no-bake cheesecake anyway, that it almost seems bonkers that the Banoffee Cheesecake isn’t already a more established menu item!

Crunchy buttery biscuit base, sticky toffee sauce, sweet sliced banana and gloriously smooth and creamy vanilla-caramel cheesecake. Seriously, guys. SERIOUSLY. Mother Maverick almost died of excitement when I told her I was making this, banoffee pie is a favourite of hers, and a lovechild between that and the classic chilled cheesecake?? RIP.

Simply top this bad bitch off with more toffee sauce and some adorable foam candy bananas, and you’ve got yourself an absolute belter of a dessert. Perfect for picnics, dinner parties, special occasions, or just for spooning into your gob while you watch TV on the couch on a Thursday night!

As this is a no bake Banoffee Cheesecake, it’s wonderfully easy. You’ll need to give it a little time to set up in the fridge, but basically, if you can stir some stuff and layer it up in a big tin, you can make this cheesecake! No need for the oven either, which makes it great for those humid afternoons.

Don’t worry if the cheesecake doesn’t come out looking absolutely pristine. Much like a banoffee pie, this dessert often looks a hot mess but tastes like wife material. Don’t fret about the looks, honey!

  1. Can this recipe be frozen?

    1. Hi Katie, sorry but honestly it’s something I’ve never tried so I couldn’t give you a confident answer. Do let me know if you try it though!

  2. How long does the base take in the fridge ?

    1. Hi there! I would say 30-40 minutes is all you would need to set the base in the fridge for before adding the cheesecake mixture.
