Banoreo Cheesecake is one of the best no bake cheesecakes I’ve ever tasted! A buttery Oreo biscuit base is topped with sliced bananas, cream cheese, double cream, vanilla and more Oreos!

Today I’m bringing you a vegetarian Banoreo Cheesecake or Banana & Oreo Cheesecake (it was a toss up for the name)! There’s a bit of a story attached as to how it came about!


My daughter became a vegetarian recently so not all the recipes she’s given for Food Tech at school are suitable for her. A case in point was a recent cheesecake they had to make with gelatine. As you can’t simply substitute gelatine for a vegetarian version it wasn’t a straightforward exercise and the cheesecake had to involve fruit too.

I decided to help my daughter out and started out by asking fellow blogger friends if they had a suitable cheesecake but this proved fruitless. Someone did suggest looking at the Dr Oetker website who make Vege Gel which is a vegetarian alternative to gelatine. However, there were no cheesecakes on there using it much to my disappointment.

This wasn’t going to be a 5 minute job I realised. I then trawled the internet for fruity, gel containing vegetarian cheesecakes and couldn’t see a recipe that I was confident enough in to send my daughter off to school with without making it first myself. Eating 16 portions of cheesecake over 2 days was not an option!

My daughter brought her Banoreo Cheesecake home from school that day and I barely had time to upload it to instagram before she was tucking in and “oohing” and “aahing” over it. “This is really good” she exclaimed, I was so happy, as it turned out just as I’d imagined and perhaps even better! Hubby and I also tucked in and as it was so delicious I knew I had to share it with you!

I was very pleased that my 2 hours of research didn’t go to waste so last week I recreated my Banoreo Cheesecake just for you (it was a tough job to eat it again but hey someone had to do it:-)

The eagle eyed amongst you might notice that the rim of the Banoreo Cheesecake looks a bit thin, that’s what happens when you put away your loose bottomed tin with the base in upside down! So make sure you have yours the right way up and then you’ll have a nice deep edge!

Ingredients

  • 200 g Oreos
  • 60 g Unsalted butter
  • 2 – 3 bananas sliced
  • Topping:
  • 200 mls double cream
  • 1 sachet Vege Gel
  • 400 g cream cheese
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 120 g caster sugar
  • 50 g Oreos broken
  • Decoration:
  • 50 g Oreos to decorate broken

Instructions

  • Line a 20cm springform cake tin with baking paper.
  • Place 200g of Oreos in 2 plastic food bags and smash with a rolling pin to form crumbs.
  • Melt the butter in a pan over a gentle heat, then stir in the Oreo crumbs.
  • Pour the crumb mix into the tin and flatten down evenly.
  • Spread the banana slices over the base.
  • Whip the cream with a whisk until it forms soft peaks.
  • Make up the vege gel by sprinking onto 200 mls of cold water and mixing (dispersing any lumps with a fork, or sieve) then bring to the boil in a pan.
  • Set aside to cool for 5 mins.
  • Place the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract in a bowl and mix well, then mix in the cream.
  • Pour in the vege gel and beat with a large whisk until thoroughly mixed in.
  • Fold in the broken Oreos.
  • Pour mixture onto biscuit base and smooth out with a spatula.
  • Cool in fridge for a minimum of 3 hrs to set.
  • Once set decorate cheesecake with broken Oreos.
  • Best eaten on the same day.

Notes

NB: I have reduce the amount of butter in the base from 100g to 60g to give a more crumbly texture!

    Hello, how long can you keep it out at room temperature before it changes consistency?

    Thank you!

      Hi Jacqueline, this cheesecake won’t change consistency as the gelatine acts like a jelly to hold it firm. But as this is a dairy based product you wouldn’t want to leave it out a room temperature for too long! I am that person that as soon as everyone has had their dessert will whisk the rest of the cheesecake back into the fridge.

    It’s not so easy using vegetarian jelling agents. I use agar agar, but still haven’t quite worked out the best mix. Your cheesecake looks divine and I very much wish I had a slice right here. Cheesecakes are CT’s favourite, so I really ought to try making one.

      Thanks Lucy, I’m sure they would-) Can you make cheesecake in a slow cooker, I imagine the baked variety would work?
