Decoration Tips: To elevate the presentation, consider garnishing the cheesecake with banana slices and a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits for added texture. A few dollops of whipped cream around the edge can add a luxurious touch, while a drizzle of caramel sauce over the white chocolate will intensify the banoffee flavor. For a festive touch, edible gold leaf or silvered almonds can add a bit of glamour.
