✨ 💛 🍌 BANOFFEE CHEESECAKE 🍌 💛 ✨

First time making this cheesecake and it definitely won’t be the last!

Buttery digestive base, homemade caramel layer, fresh banana, vanilla cheesecake, freshly whipped double cream, topped with caramel sauce, mini fudge pieces and grated milk chocolate 😋

Unfortunately the photos don’t do it justice as it’s a bit grey outside and the lighting inside isn’t the best 🤣 so you will just have to come and see for yourselves!
