Description

Ingredients

• 20 chocolate sandwich cookie (Fudgeeo or Oreo, with frosting)
• 3 tbsp melted butter
• 1 pkg unflavored gelatin
• ¼ cup water
• ¾ cup good quality chocolate chips
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 3 8oz packages light cream cheese
• 2 bananas
• ½ cup crushed pineapple, drained, juice reserved
• 1½ cups powdered sugar, divided
• 1½ cups whipping cream
• ⅓ cup thawed, drained frozen strawberries (or fresh, chopped), pureed (1/4 cup puree)
• Sprinkles, cherries, etc for garnish as desired

Directions

• In a food processor, grind cookies until fine crumbs form. Add melted butter and process until the crumbs hold together when pressed between your fingers. Press into the bottom of a 9 Springform pan. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over water. Microwave on high for 20 seconds until hot, and stir until dissolved. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
• In a medium bowl, combine chocolate and milk. Microwave on high in 30 second intervals, stirring each time, until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
• Slice bananas and soak in pineapple juice.
• In a stand mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Add in heavy whipping cream and beat on high until fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Stir in cooled gelatin mixture. Divide cheesecake mixture in 3.
• Lay banana slices on the crust in the pan in a single layer (drain well). To ⅓ of the cheesecake mixture, add the crushed pineapple and spread over bananas.
• Add melted chocolate to ⅓ of the cheesecake mixture and spread over pineapple layer.
• Add strawberry puree to remaining cheesecake batter and spread over chocolate layer.
• Refrigerate at least 3-4 hours until set. Garnish as desired.
