I love how simple and wholesome this recipe is, using only a few basic ingredients to create a delicious dessert.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

I keep the ingredient list minimal, which makes this recipe perfect when I want something quick and fuss-free.

• 2 bananas (ripe, about 7 oz / 200 g total)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup (240 g) Greek yogurt (5% fat recommended)
• granulated sweetener (optional for sweeter flavor)

Directions

I start by preheating the oven to 360°F (180°C) and preparing a round baking mold by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with oil.

In a large bowl, I mash the ripe bananas until they are smooth.

Then, I add the eggs and Greek yogurt to the mashed bananas. I mix everything together using a fork or whisk until I get a smooth, lump-free batter.

Once the mixture is ready, I transfer it into the prepared baking mold and spread it out evenly.

I place it on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the cheesecake is set and fully cooked inside.

After baking, I let it cool to room temperature. Then I refrigerate it for at least 4 hours before serving so it firms up and develops its best texture.

Servings And Timing

I get about 4 servings from this cheesecake, making it a perfect small dessert to share.

The total time is around 40 minutes for baking, plus at least 4 hours of chilling time. I usually spend about 10 minutes preparing everything before it goes into the oven.

Variations

I like to adjust this recipe depending on my mood. Sometimes I add a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor. I also enjoy mixing in a pinch of cinnamon for a warm touch.

If I want a slightly richer version, I use full-fat Greek yogurt. For a sweeter result, I add a bit of granulated sweetener or even a drizzle of honey before serving.

I also like topping it with fresh berries or a spoonful of nut butter for extra texture and flavor.

Storage/Reheating

I store the cheesecake in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. I prefer eating it chilled, as it holds its shape and texture better.

I do not usually reheat it, since cheesecake tastes best cold, but I can let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving if I want it slightly softer.

FAQs

Can I Taste The Banana In This Cheesecake?

I do notice a mild banana flavor, but it blends nicely with the yogurt and does not overpower the dessert.

Can I Make This Cheesecake Sweeter?

I add a granulated sweetener if I want more sweetness. The ripeness of the bananas also makes a big difference.

What Type Of Yogurt Works Best?

I prefer Greek yogurt with around 5% fat because it gives a creamier texture, but I can use lower-fat versions if needed.

How Do I Know When It Is Done Baking?

I check that the center is set and not overly jiggly. The top may stay pale, but the texture should feel firm.

Can I Freeze This Cheesecake?

I can freeze it, but I find the texture is best when fresh or refrigerated. If I freeze it, I thaw it in the fridge before serving.

Conclusion

I find this sugar free cheesecake to be a simple and satisfying dessert that fits perfectly when I want something lighter. The natural sweetness from bananas and the creamy texture from yogurt make it a recipe I enjoy making again and again. It is easy, wholesome, and perfect for a guilt-free treat whenever I need one.
