• 4 oz. white chocolate (preferably imported), finely chopped
  • 1/2 lb. cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, chilled
  • 1 banana, thinly sliced
  • One ready-made graham-cracker crust (9 inches)

Directions:
1. Warm the chocolate in a bowl set over a pot of lightly simmering water. Remove from heat when only partially melted; stir to melt completely.

2. Beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Beat in the chocolate, then the sour cream. Whip the heavy cream until firm; gently fold into chocolate filling.

3. Put the banana slices on the crust, top with the filling, and chill at least 2 hours. If you’d like, sprinkle with grated dark chocolate before serving.
