This Raw Banana Coconut Pie is one of my family’s favorite raw treats. Raw, gluten free, dairy free, vegan and not a gram of refined sugar. My husband thinks it would be even better with a shot of rum. It's drool worthy and impossible to eat without enjoying it so much you close your eyes in the process. Best of all - it's healthy and so ridiculously simple to make.

INGREDIENTS

Crust:

  • 1 ½ cup Almonds (soaked overnight and dried)
  • 1/3 cup Walnuts (soaked overnight)
  • 1 ½ cup Dates
  • ½ dried Coconut Chunks

Filling:

  • 1/3 cup Coconut or Almond Milk
  • 1 cup Cashew (soaked overnight)
  • 3 tablespoon Coconut Oil
  • 2 Bananas
  • ¼ cup Coconut Nectar (or honey)
  • 3 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • Sea Salt
  • Vanilla

DIRECTIONS

Crust:

  1. Blend almonds in a food processor.
  2. Blend dates with a teaspoon of coconut oil in a food processor making a smooth paste. In a bowl mix dates into the almonds.
  3. Put plastic wrap in a cake form. Spread the almond date paste in there, patting with your hands and forming a crust.
  4. Put in a freezer until solid.

Filling:

  1. In a blender mix cashews, coconut nectar, sea salt, lemon juice, coconut milk, coconut oil, vanilla and banana.
  2. Blend very well until smooth. Add more coconut nectar or lemon juice if needed. For an even more indulgent treat, add 1 shot of dark rum (don't look at me, husband suggestion)
  3. Get the almond-date crust from the freezer and add filling into the crust. Decorate with walnuts crumbs, grated dark chocolate and dried coconut chunks.
  4. Put the pie in a freezer for about 4 hours.
  5. Take out 30 minutes before serving.
