Low

For the cheesecake base, process the granola along with the peanuts until you obtain a moderately coarse powder. Mix with the chocolate chips and the butter. Pour the mixture into a cake pan lined with parchment paper, and using a spoon, spread it out to form a base. Freeze for 10 minutes in your LG LINEAR Top Freezer. For the cheesecake, beat the cream cheese with the heavy cream for about 5 minutes. Add the peanut butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Once all the ingredients are incorporated, add the gelatin in a stream while continuing to beat. Pour the cheesecake over the granola base and smooth the surface with an angled spatula. Refrigerate until set in your LG LINEAR Top Freezer. For the caramel sauce, in a saucepan over low heat, cook the sugar with the orange juice until it forms a caramel. Add the heavy cream all at once and stir quickly with a whisk, cook until you obtain a sauce, add a pinch of salt. Cool slightly and refrigerate for 10 minutes in your LG LINEAR Top Freezer to achieve a thick consistency. Remove the cheesecake from refrigeration and add some caramel sauce, place the bananas, and sprinkle with brown sugar. Caramelize with a torch, decorate with whipped cream, and serve.
