Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Banoffee Cheesecake:

1. Prepare the Base: In a bowl, mix crushed digestive biscuits with melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form a crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.

2. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well until combined.

3. Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.

4. Layer the Ingredients: Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the chilled biscuit base. Spread evenly. Top with a layer of sliced bananas and drizzle with half of the dulce de leche.

5. Repeat the Layers: Add the remaining cream cheese mixture on top of the banana layer. Smooth out the top and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set.

6. Garnish: Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Drizzle the top with the remaining dulce de leche and sprinkle with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder if desired.

7. Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, slice the cheesecake into wedges, wiping the knife between cuts for clean edges.
