Perhaps one of the most delicate desserts is banana cheesecake. This dish, whose name translates as "cheese pie," is made with cream cheese. However, there is a cheaper recipe for this delicacy based on cottage cheese: banana cheesecake with cottage cheese, which is quite popular in Russia.

The traditional recipe most often includes one of the following types of cheese:

  • Mascarpone;
  • Feta;
  • Philadelphia;
  • Mozzarella;
  • Ricotta;
  • Halloumi.

For this dessert, it's best to choose fully ripe bananas; this will result in a more delicate flavor. If you decide to make a cottage cheese dessert, carefully select the main ingredient. It's best to choose a low-fat or low-fat product.
