US Customary - Metric

Ingredients

Crust

25 Oreo cookies with frosting
½ cup melted butter

Chocolate layer

¾ cup chopped dark chocolate (or sub chocolate chips)
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Banana Pineapple Layer

2 bananas
½ cup crushed pineapple drained well, juice reserved

Strawberry layer

3 tablespoons freeze dried strawberries

Cheesecake filling

750 grams full fat cream cheese room temperature (3 packages or 24 oz total)
1½ cups powdered sugar
1½ cups heavy whipping cream
Sprinkles, cherries, etc for garnish as desired

Instructions

Crust

*Optional: you can line the pan with parchment paper to make it easier to remove after chilling.
In a food processor, crush cookies until fine crumbs form. Add melted butter and process until the crumbs hold together when pressed between your fingers. Press into the bottom of a 9" Springform pan. Set aside.

Chocolate layer

In a medium bowl, combine chocolate and cream. Microwave on high in 30 second intervals, stirring each time, until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

Banana Pineapple Layer

Slice bananas and soak in reserved pineapple juice.

Strawberry Layer

Crush freeze dried strawberries into a fine powder.

Cheesecake assembly

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add powdered sugar and beat until smooth.
In a separate bowl, beat the whipping cream with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the cream cheese mixture (you can do this with the electric mixer on low speed).
Divide cheesecake mixture into 3 bowls.
Drain banana slices well and place on the crust in the pan in a single layer. To ⅓ of the cheesecake mixture, add the crushed pineapple and spread over bananas.
To another ⅓ of the cheesecake mixture, stir in the melted chocolate and spread over pineapple layer.
To the remaining ⅓ of the cheesecake mixture, mix in the freeze dried strawberries and spread over the chocolate layer.
Refrigerate at least 6-8 hours or overnight until set. Garnish as desired with whipped cream and additional toppings.

Notes

Ingredients and Substitutions:

Crushed pineapple: you can skip the crushed pineapple if you don't enjoy it, but you may want to soak the bananas in pineapple juice or lemon juice so they don't brown too quickly.
Freeze dried strawberries: if you don't have freeze dried strawberries you can substitute with a similar amount of strawberry jello powder or some strawberry jam.
