Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups part-skim ricotta
1 1/2 cups low-fat cottage cheese
4 ounces Neufchatel cheese
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large bananas, thinly sliced crosswise
15 vanilla wafer cookies, crushed
semisweet chocolate, finely grated, for garnish

Steps:

In a food processor, puree ricotta, cottage cheese, Neufchatel, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla until completely smooth, about 2 minutes.
Line eight small bowls or ramekins with banana slices. In each, spoon 2 tablespoons ricotta mixture and top with 1 tablespoon cookie crumbs. Repeat. Top each with remaining ricotta mixture. Divide remaining cookie crumbs among bowls and sprinkle with grated chocolate. Cover and refrigerate until cookie crumbs soften, 3 hours (or overnight).
