The ginger in the crust makes a great addition to bring out the banana flavor. This is very easy to make and very delish to eat :)

How To Make chocolate banana cheesecake

Step 1

In large bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs with sugar and ginger. Add butter and mix well until all is incorporated.

Step 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.
Step 3

Store this in the freezer while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
Step 4

Beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Cut open vanilla bean and scrape out the insides into the cream cheese. Beat until incorporated.
Step 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.
Step 6

Scoop cheese into baking pan. Spread it out evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in fridge overnight.
Step 7

When ready to serve, grate chocolate over the top.
