I made this easy, no-bake cheesecake for a Father's Day dessert. Everyone in my family loves cheesecake, but some like it topped with just cherries, some like just hot fudge, some like it loaded up - everyone is happy!

How To Make easy banana split mini cheesecakes (no-bake)

  • Step 1
    For the cheesecake: In a mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and sugar and beat with a hand mixer on medium-low speed until smooth. Add the banana and vanilla and beat until combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until medium peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture just until it is all combined. Refrigerate until needed.

    To make the Cherry Topping: Add all ingredients to a medium sauce pot and bring to a low boil over medium heat. Keep at a low boil several minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Step 3
    To make the Graham Cracker Crust, add all ingredients to a small bowls and stir to combine. Add cupcake liners to a 12-cup muffin tin. Add about 1 tablespoon of the crust mixture to each cup and press down firmly to the line the bottom with the crust. Refrigerate until ready to fill.

    To assemble and serve, add a scoop of the caramel sauce over the graham cracker crust and then top with a portion of the cheese cake filling. Top with cherries and drizzle with hot fudge and nuts (optional).
