A handful Macadamia Pieces- I toasted mine in oven for 10 minutes to make them fragrant and crunchier-set aside to cool.
Slice bananas on the diagonal making 3” pieces.
Arrange on top of cheesecake.
Heat the caramel in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or until pourable , be mindful that it is not too hot. If too hot set aside to cool.

Chill then serve !!
