Yeah, I guess I should toss it. It would keep me from getting angry every time I look at it. :lol: What is Williamsburg style? I think hubs would disown me if I ever did anything other than NY style.
Yeah, banana split. See, a cheesecake is a blank slate. You can do anything with it. In addition to the banana split, I've done chocolate, banana pudding, reese's, turtle, hot fudge sundae and a handful of others that are not immediately coming to light at 5am. :lol: All you have to do is just add ingredients to it that you like. And keep a good selection of good flavorings or extract. That's the key, there. Like for banana split, I added a smidge of banana extract, to make the cheesecake itself taste like bananas. The crust was crushed up oreos (without the cream filling, so you just got the intense chocolate taste) and then I decorated the top with different banana split toppings. I didn't use bananas as a topping, because first of all, you have the banana flavor in the cheesecake, and secondly, the bananas would brown too quickly and look ugly. I just used nuts, maraschino cherries, drizzles of chocolate, a little crushed pineapple and whipped cream. I added those all around the edges, and it was a beautiful cheesecake, and tasted just like a banana split.
