How to Prepare Peanut Butter Banana Cheesecake [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

To Make the Base:

Blend together and spread at the bottom of a parchment paper-lined 6-inch round pan. Set aside.

To Make the Peanut Butter Layer:

Blend ingredients together until a smooth texture is reached. Pour mixture into pan and place in the freezer for 8 hours or overnight.

To Make the Peanut Butter Cups:

Mix together coconut oil, cacao powder, and maple syrup. Pour enough chocolate to cover the bottom of the lined mini cupcake pans. Set in the freezer for 10 minutes to set up. Remove and spoon a small amount of peanut butter in the middle of the cups. Pour the rest of the chocolate over top of the peanut butter to cover completely. Place in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to set up.
Once everything is completed, remove the cheesecake and peanut butter cups from the freezer. Place the peanut butter cups on top of the cheesecake however you’d like. Drizzle more peanut butter on top, if desired, and serve.
