1. Make the crust. Place all the ingredients into a food processor. Pulse until it becomes a sticky, crumbly texture. Transfer to a 20cm tart form tin with a removable bottom and press firmly into the bottom of the pan. Set aside.
2. Make the filling. Drain cashews and place into a blender with the rest of the ingredients. Pulse until smooth and creamy. Pour the mixture into the cheesecake pan on top of the crust. Place in the freezer for at least 2.5 hours or until set.
3. Once the cheesecake is set spread the caramel out over the top of the cheesecake and decorate with banana slices.
