Miniature Chocolate Banana Pie Recipe Hey you! I just so enjoy coming over here to my service cabinet because it reminds me of friend that it’s in my life. You know, I’m a new bride. And today, I’m going to be preparing a romantic dinner for two. I’m over here looking for the perfect container to make my dessert it in. This glass is that belong to my grandmother Paula. I think I’m going to use these two glasses. So, you’ll come on over here in the kitchen because we go ahead and start our dessert. But, you know, it’s really not all that easy to cook for two. I think I’d so much rather cook for four than two because like I said it’s just kind a hard to break things down in small portions. But that’s what I’m going to do today because it’s very, very unusual but this meal just going to be shared between Michael and me. You see these tons of folks around but this one is going to be a very, very romantic dinner. So, our first recipe, I’m making a miniature chocolate banana pies. I’m going to start with three ripe bananas and I’m going to give them a little mash just a kind of help them along. I’m going to add 1/15 ounce package of Ricotta cheese and then, I’m going to add 1/8 ounce package of cream cheese. And then, I’m going to add a half a cup of granulated sugar. And, I’m just going to simply whisk this with the mixer. I know what you’re thinking, you’re thinking that, “Paula, you’re making a dessert for two and you got a tremendous bowl of stuff there. So, these thus make a lot. You can pair this recipe down and make a smaller amount if you like. I’m going to turn it on low speed and I’m going to slowly add a half cup for cocoa powder so it won’t lump. So, you can see that this is going to be very, very rich in chocolate. I’m going to turn this off. Now I’m going to take my spatula and I’m going to go around my bowl pulling in all that cocoa so it can get in the blades and mixed up and the last ingredient we going to add is half a teaspoon to a teaspoon of vanilla extract. So I’ve taken just a regular Graham cracker crust, Graham crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. I’m going to put this into my glasses. So, I think I’m going to start with my ladle and I think it’s going to work nicely. I can’t tell you what it means to be able to use my grandmother’s cups. She prepared dishes in these and drank out of this and used them and they’re going to be beautiful. It must be going to be just kind of whimsical and romantic looking. Now, I’m going to fill this with the chocolate. You know, some of this leftover butter would be wonderful inside of a crepe. Alright, so now I’m going to take my pies and I’m going to top it with some fresh sweetened whip creams. I’m going to take dried banana chips and I’m just going to crash this. So, this is going to let Michael know when he sees this that there’s a good chance, that there’s bananas inside this part.
