Method

• Crush up the biscuits, I put them in a bowl and crushed them with the end of a rolling pin or you can use a blender.
• Melt the butter in the microwave, pour the melted butter over the biscuits and mix well together. 
• Put the biscuit mixture into the cake tin and using the back of a spoon flatten down and into the edges. Leave to chill in the fridge for at least one hour.
• Whip the double cream to a thick stiff consistency, then add the cream cheese and vanilla and combine together. 
• Pour half of the cream mixture onto the the chilled biscuit base and smooth. 
• Slice the bananas and toss in a little lemon juice to prevent them going brown, arrange the sliced bananas on top of the cheesecake. 
• Add the remaining cream mixture to cover the bananas, create a smooth top. Place in the fridge to chill.
• Prior to serving top with Malteasers

Tip - this cheesecake tastes best chilled from the fridge. I would not recommend leaving it out before serving for any longer than 30 minutes.
