Caramel Layer:
1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook the granulated sugar, stirring continuously, until it melts and turns a golden brown color.
2. Add the cubed butter and stir until completely melted. Gradually pour in the heavy cream, stirring until the caramel is smooth and creamy. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
3. Pour the caramel evenly over the chilled cheesecake. Return the cheesecake to the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set the caramel layer.
Topping:
1. Arrange the banana slices on top of the cheesecake.
2. Sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the bananas, and finish with a generous drizzle of caramel sauce before serving.
