Submitted by Sydney Mike

"This recipe was found in Parade magazine (with the local newspaper) this past weekend. Preparation time does not include the 2 hours needed for the pie to chill."

 

• Ready In: 10mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 4 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped
• 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
• 1⁄4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1⁄3 cup sour cream
• 1⁄2 cup heavy cream, chilled
• 2 bananas, sliced
• 1 (9 inch) graham cracker crust
• 1 cup dark chocolate, grated (optional)

directions

1. In a bowl set over a pot of lightly simmering water, warm & partially melt the chocolate, then remove from heat & stir to melt completely.
2. In another bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar & vanilla until smooth.
3. Add the chocolate to this mixture & combine thoroughly, before adding the sour cream & blending completely.
4. In a 3rd mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until firm, then gently fold it into the chocolate filling.
5. Place the banana slices evenly over the crust, then carefully pour the chocolate filling over the bananas, before chilling the pie for at least 2 hours.
6. Although it's optional, the pie looks great when sprinkled with grated or shaved dark chocolate before serving.

Syd, this recipe is amazing! It is so creamy, chocolatey and delicious with a wonderful chocolate and banana flavour. YUM!<br/>I made a couple of changes due to what I had on hand and it still worked out wonderfully: I used German Quark and cashew butter in place of sour cream and heavy cream, no sugar and only one banana. The cookie crust I made was low in sugar and I still found the pie to be lovely sweet. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this keeper with us, I cant wait to serve it to company as it looks very pretty, too! The shavings on top really make it stand out.<br/>Made and reviewed for Newest Zaar January 2012.
