Preparation
- Place graham crackers into a plastic bag and crush them into fine crumbs with a rolling pin.
- Pour the graham cracker crumbs into a bowl and combine with melted butter, mixing until the texture is like slightly wet sand.
- Press the graham cracker crumbs in an even layer into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan. Refrigerate.
- In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, vanilla, powdered sugar, and peanut butter until well mixed.
- Add the cream cheese mixture to the springform pan and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine butter, brown sugar, half & half, and cinnamon. Stir until mixture darkens and sugar dissolves into the mixture.
- Lower the heat to medium-low and add the bananas to the saucepan and sauté in the sauce for 1-2 minutes on each side. Take off heat and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Decorate the top of the cheesecake with banana slices and pour over remaining caramel sauce. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Slice and garnish with chocolate or caramel syrup.
- Enjoy!
