This was absolutely delicious! I made this for a party and everyone couldn't get enough of it. Ingredients:
2 cups finely crushed wafers |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, melted |
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar, divided |
3 pkg. (8 oz. each) cream cheese, softened |
2 tsp. rum extract |
3 eggs |
1/2 cup mashed ripe banana |
2 medium bananas, sliced |
2 tsp. lemon juice |
25 caramels (about 1/2 of 14-oz. bag) 2 tbsp. milk |
1/2 cup pecan halves |
Directions:
1. PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Mix wafer crumbs, chopped pecans, butter and 1/4 cup of the brown sugar until well blended. Press firmly onto bottom of 13x9-inch baking pan. 2. BEAT cream cheese, remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar and rum extract in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add eggs; mix just until blended. Stir in mashed banana. Pour over crust. 3. BAKE 30 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool. Refrigerate 3 hours or overnight. 4. TOSS sliced bananas with lemon juice; spoon over cheesecake. Place caramels and milk in microwavable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 2 minutes; stir until caramels are completely melted. Drizzle evenly over bananas; sprinkle with pecan halves. Cut into 24 squares. Refrigerate any leftover cheesecake squares. |
