Making Mini Bananas Foster Cheesecake is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until fully combined.
2. Press into Molds: Spoon the mixture into mini cheesecake molds or muffin tins, pressing down firmly to create an even layer.
3. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
4. Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
5. Add Ingredients: Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well. Then, add eggs one by one, ensuring each is incorporated before adding the next.
6. Add Bananas and Sour Cream: Mix in the mashed bananas and sour cream until fully blended.
7. Fill the Molds: Carefully pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust in the molds, filling them about 3/4 full.
8. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the centers are set but slightly jiggly.
9. Cool and Chill: Remove from the oven; let them cool slightly before transferring to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight for optimal setting.
10. Prepare Caramel Sauce: In a skillet, melt butter, then add brown sugar, heavy cream, and cinnamon. Stir until melted and bubbling. If using rum, add it slowly and let it cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
