This Banana Peanut butter Cheesecake is really not hard to make. The result was so tasty, that the whole cheesecake has magically disappeared in a few minutes. The banana and peanut butter flavors are really delicious and the whole thing is beautifully creamy. Plus, it’s relatively healthy, what is definitely encouraging to eat another slice! I keep thinking of an excuse to make it again…
