Categories     Desserts

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 ripe bananas
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup granulated sugar
1 ½ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
powdered sugar, for dusting
8 oz packages of cream cheese, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
whipped cream, for decorating
chocolate bar, for decorating

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Make the cake: Place the peeled bananas in a medium bowl and use a fork to mash them. Add the eggs, vanilla, and sugar and whisk until the mixture turns pale yellow.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and whisk to combine.
  • Grease a baking sheet well and line with parchment paper.
  • Pour the batter onto the baking sheet and use a spatula to spread evenly.
  • Bake for 12 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and springs back when gently pressed.
  • Cover a large, clean dish towel with powdered sugar (this will help keep the cake from sticking to the towel). While the cake is still warm, carefully flip the baking sheet onto the towel. Lift up the sheet and remove the parchment paper.
  • Starting from a short end, gently roll up the cake with the towel. Let cool for at least 1 hour.
  • Make the filling: Add the cream cheese to a medium bowl and whip with a fork until light and fluffy. Add the sugar, vanilla, and milk. Mix until the filling is silky and smooth.
  • Add the melted chocolate and fold with a spatula to combine.
  • Unroll the banana bread and spread the filling evenly over it. Roll the banana bread back up without the towel, wrap the outside with the towel or plastic wrap, and chill for 4 hours.
  • Remove the roll from the fridge and sift powdered sugar over the top. Top with whipped cream. Run a vegetable peeler across a chocolate bar to sprinkle chocolate curls over the whipped cream.
  • Slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!

SWISS CHEESECAKE



Swiss Cheesecake image

A different cheesecake--made with Swiss cheese.

Provided by JJOHN32

Categories     Desserts     Cakes     Cheesecake Recipes

Time P1DT3h45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ¼ cups graham cracker crumbs
⅓ cup white sugar
¼ cup ground walnuts
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons melted butter
2 cups cottage cheese
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
8 ounces finely shredded Swiss cheese
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
¼ teaspoon salt
6 eggs, separated
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
2 pears - peeled, cored and sliced
¾ cup currant jelly

Steps:

  • For crust, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/3 cup sugar, ground walnuts, cinnamon, and melted butter. Press onto bottom and part way up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill crust while preparing filling.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Beat cottage cheese in small mixing bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until almost smooth, about 5 minutes; set aside. Beat cream cheese in large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. On medium speed, beat in Swiss cheese and cottage cheese until well-blended, about 3 minutes. Mix in 1 cup sugar, vanilla, almond extract, and salt. Beat in egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually blend in flour.
  • Wash egg beaters well, so no trace of batter remains. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until medium-stiff peaks form. Lift the beater straight up: the tip of the peak formed by the egg whites should curl over slightly. Fold 1/3 of the egg white mixture into the cheesecake batter to lighten; fold in remaining egg whites. Pour batter into prepared crust.
  • Bake in preheated oven until center is set and doesn't jiggle when pan is shaken gently, 60 to 65 minutes.
  • Turn oven heat off. Open oven door and let cheesecake cool in oven. It is normal for the cake to sink slightly in center. Refrigerate several hours or overnight.
  • Place cake on serving plate; carefully remove sides of pan.
  • For glaze, place pear slices in a decorative pattern on top of cheesecake. Heat currant jelly in small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted. Spoon small amount over pear slices until all slices are coated; reserve remaining jelly. Refrigerate glazed cake at least one hour. To serve, reheat jelly and spoon a small amount over each slice of cheesecake.

Tips for Making the Best Swiss Cheesecake:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the cheesecake will be.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before you start mixing it. This will help it cream together smoothly and evenly.
  • Don't overbeat the batter. Overbeating can cause the cheesecake to be dense and crumbly.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help to prevent it from cracking and sinking.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will help it to set properly and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

Swiss cheesecake is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is perfect for any occasion, from a casual gathering to a special celebration. With its creamy texture, rich flavor, and beautiful presentation, Swiss cheesecake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
