9. Tap pan on the counter to release air bubbles. 

10. Bake for 60 minutes. Check at 45 minutes to see if cake will need the entire 60 minutes to cook. Center should be wiggly. If baking too quickly, tent the cheesecake with foil for the last 30 minutes.

DIRECTIONS

1. Peel bananas and place in food processor.

3. Blend ingredients.

4. Taste to see if you would like to add more coaco. I LOVE cocoa, so I added lots!!!
