About

Chocolate, bananas and praline walnuts – are there many better combinations? Certainly not if you are a lover of bananas. It is important to use ripe bananas in this recipe for full flavour. This cheesecake is also delicious with pecans or Brazil nuts in place of the walnuts, or a mixture of all three for a nut-a-licious dessert.

Method

Begin by preparing the walnut praline. Heat the sugar in a pan until melted and lightly golden brown. Take care towards the end of cooking as the caramel can burn quickly. Do not stir the pan as the sugar is cooking but swirl it to ensure that the sugar does not burn.
