- 4 (1-cup volume each) 4-inch diameter mini pie crusts (graham cracker or shortbread)
- Whipped cream
- Dried banana chips, crushed
- White chocolate, shaved, optional for garnish
Directions
In a mixer combine bananas, cream cheese, ricotta, sugar and vanilla and mix well. Slowly beat in cocoa powder to avoid dry pockets. Pour into shells and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Top with whipped cream and banana chips. Top with shaved white chocolate, if desired

This came out ok for me- I'm not embarrassed to serve it but I might not make it again. I added about 1/4 cup extra sugar because it wasn't sweet enough for me, and next time I'd cut some of the cocoa out. Also, I think it's REALLY key that you use very ripe bananas to get the right flavor. I didn't mind the ricotta but I made this in the food processor to get a super smooth texture. I made it in one big graham crust and it set nicely. Being generous with the banana chips helped the overall flavor too.

Not what I expected! I cut the amount of cocoa and added some powdered sugar for some much needed sweetness. Next time, I think I will leave out the ricotta cheese. We'll see.
