Ingredients

2 to 3 ripe bananas
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
1 (15-ounce) container ricotta cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup cocoa powder
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

Serving tip: Instead of mini crusts you can serve in a martini or other cocktail glass.

Ricotta?
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I was very excited about trying this recipe, but it did not turn out like I had expected. I don't know if this is normal but... the ricotta cheese gave the pie filling a very gritty texture. I couldn't even choke it down. We had to throw the whole pie out. It would had been delicious other than that.Read more

Something's not right...
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

When I made this recipe, the flavors just weren't right. It wasn't that sweet, which is fine, but unexpected. But even with... more sugar, I wouldn't make this recipe again. My boyfriend who normally will eat anything I make (he was raised in a household that just didn't waste food even though his mom wasn't a great cook) wouldn't finish his piece, and we threw out the rest of the pie. I can't quite put my finger on what wasn't right with this recipe. I do wonder about the cheeses as the base and how that worked with the chocolate. Perhaps more vanilla would have also helped.Read more
