3:00 Pick me up

I know its been a while but this is a good one! I adapted this recipe I found on my Favorite Food Blog Smitten Kitchen for Strawberry Ricotta Tartlets.

I most definitely didn't have time to make graham crackers from scratch but I figured just the boxed kind would be good enough and I didn't want to used processed granulated sugar so I used my tried and true agave nectar which was perfect for this recipe because it gave the strawberry mix the perfect syrupy texture and I added bananas bc well I LOVE bananas esp with strawberries! My adaptation came out great, super easy and super fast and I'm having them as a snack for that 3:00 lul here at the office! Of course I brought some in to share! Here's my adapted recipe

For the Ricotta mix

1 1/4 cup ricotta

2 tablespoons of confectioners sugar

mixed very well

For the strawberry mix

1 1/4 cup strawberries - sliced

2 tablespoons agave nectar

1 good squeeze of lemon juice

mixed well and let stand for 15 min or so

Then I sliced a banana thinly and after putting a smear of the ricotta mix on the graham I added 3 slices and a spoon full of the strawberry mix.

I would assume one can use any kind of fruit of their liking on top of the ricotta mix and it would taste great! I think next time ill try making a various fruit mix, with blueberries and raspberries, and maybe even pineapple! But these are so tasty! They sorta taste like a strawberry shortcake! YUM!

3:00 PICK ME UP!!!

It's a bit late today, but better late than never! Picked this up as a surprise for my boyfriend who was out of town because he has said he had been wanting to try it and only saw it in a small food market by me so I was trying to be super sweet and surprise him with a super sweet treat...the only problem was that I decided to try a bit....wound up finishing off the entire thing in two sittings!!! This is my new FAV Ben and Jerry's Ice cream flavor!!! Vanilla with chunks of chocolate cookie, chocolate chip cookies, and fudge swirl. Sooo decadent but honestly it was worth it! ...and I did pick up another carton for the boyfriend...I'm not THAT mean!!!
