How to prepare ricotta banana blueberry pie
At first you need to prepare the crust. Crush the biscuits using a food processor or take a zip lock bag and fill it with the biscuits, lock it, then use a rolling pin to crush all the biscuits.
Prepare the crust
In a large bowl mix together the crushed biscuits, the melted butter, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon, until all comes together. Press the mixture onto the bottom and edges of a 9 inch (23 cm) tart pan. Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the blueberry sauce and the caramelized bananas.
Prepare the blueberry sauce and caramelized banana slices
In a saucepan, boil together the blueberry (fresh or frozen), sugar and cornstarch, for 7-10 minutes. Set aside.
Slice the bananas and set aside. In a saucepan, melt the sugar until it turns golden brown, add in the butter, stir with a wooden spoon until it melts, then add in the banana slices. Keep cooking and stirring for 5-7 minutes, over medium heat, until they become soft and are completely caramelized. Set aside to cool.
Prepare the ricotta filling
In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, mix together the ricotta cheese, the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Assemble the ricotta blueberry banana pie
Take the pie crust out of the fridge, place the caramelized bananas onto the bottom of the pie crust. Fill the pie crust with all of the ricotta filling. Top with the blueberry sauce. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
