For the filling

250 grams cream cheese

200 grams ripe bananas, mashed

Preparation

To make the base, beat the butter with an electric mixer until lighter in colour and creamy, add the honey and cocoa powder, and beat for a few more minutes, until creamed and well blended.

 Add the heavy cream, and gradually add the ground biscuits until you get a batter that you can press into the base of a 23 cm (9-inch) spring form pan

 Set the base aside and continue with the filling

For the filling, first melt the chocolate in a double boiler and let it cool to room temperature

 Next, pour two tablespoons of cold water over the gelatine and leave it for at least 10 minutes to activate

 Mash the bananas very well, then set them aside Beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer on high, until creamy, then add the bananas and blend really well

Heat up the gelatine to dissolve it, but do not let it boil

 Take a tablespoon or two of the cream cheese mixture and mix it well with the gelatine, then pour everything back to the mixture and blend well

 Add in the milk chocolate and mix well. Finally, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it in

 Pour this over the base, and let the cheesecake sit in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. Yields 12 servings
