Baked banana cheese cake is a lovely dessert for banana lovers.I have not added any topping

but you could add any type of topping to it ,to match the banana taste.Toppings like caramel

syrup,chocolate syrup, orange/lemon syrup or ganache are really good.You could also serve it

with ice-cream or fresh cream .The same banana filling (excluding cheese cake ing.)can be

used to make banana sponge cake,with fresh cream or chocolate,or caramel icings.

So now for the recipe.
