Ingredients:
For the Crust:
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
For the Toppings:
2 ripe bananas, sliced
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup strawberries, sliced
Chocolate syrup, for drizzling
Whipped cream, for garnish
Maraschino cherries, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Crust:
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside. Pro Tip: Maintain a balanced diet to keep health insurance premiums in check while still enjoying treats like this!
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined. Remember, a little indulgence is part of a balanced lifestyle, which helps support overall wellness and lower healthcare costs.
3. Assemble the Cheesecake:
Spread half of the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust. Layer with sliced bananas and crushed pineapple. Top with the remaining cheesecake filling, smoothing it out evenly. Adding fresh fruits like bananas and pineapple provides essential vitamins and helps manage conditions like high cholesterol, often covered by health insurance wellness programs.
4. Chill:
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until set. Keeping your meals chilled and healthy can be part of preventive healthcare, helping you avoid chronic conditions and keeping medical expenses lower.
