Since it is a semestral break, I thought I'd encourage my sons to help me in the kitchen. My youngest said he'd like to make puto (steamed rice cakes) again, but I found out we didn't have the necessary ingredients. While rummaging, we had most of the ingredients for a no-bake cheesecake...no topping, though. But we had lots of saba bananas (plantain). Yup, you guessed it right: Banana (Saba) No-Bake Cheesecake. :P

{The recipe below is the same one that I have been using for all of my no-bake cheesecakes; forgot where I got it, sorry. but it works!)
....and ripe, sliced, fried saba (plantain) bananas.
Procedure:
- Mix first four ingredients, then pack in the container where you plan to put your cheesecake. Reserve some as topping. Chill.
- Combine the remaining ingredients except the bananas. Once mixed thoroughly, add to the chilled crust.
- Bananas must be really ripe, or you might want to slice them into bite-size pieces. You might want to cook them further, too: add water, sugar, vanilla, and the sliced bananas then simmer for around fifteen to thirty minutes. Make sure it's cool before using it as a topping. Drizzle the remaining crushed graham cracker mix.
- Chill before serving.

My sons and I had a fun time making this. They just think it's weird using plantain bananas as a topping. lol. They loved it, though. Me, too. Well, we do love our cheesecakes around here. :P

if only cream cheese isn't so expensive... :)
I have always been wary of moscuvado sugar. It's not the sugar, just my taste buds probably. But this recipe looks wonderfully tempting. And I love saging in many ways so exploring this should be easy. A nice weekend to you, Maiylah.

@Jenn: so true!
@Hazel: i was wary of muscovado sugar while growing up, too. my mom said that it was "dirty". lol. however, after reading up about it, i guess i like it better than the processed ones. doesn't go too well with some of the recipes, though (because it turns the finished products brown). :P
@Ms. Oggi: i hope you get to try it soon!
@Mr. Nick: thank you, too!
@unknown specimen: lol, no worries! am not mad! :)
