This dessert combines all of my favourite ingredients: banana, peanut butter and chocolate! It’s full of healthy and natural ingredients, so I highly recommend helping yourself to a second serving (and a third, and a fourth, and so on).
Ingredients:
Crust…
- 1 1/2 cups medjool dates, pitted
- 1 cup raw walnuts or raw pecans
- 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1/4 cup raw cacao powder
Filling…
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 can of full fat coconut milk, solidified
- 1 1/2 cups raw cashews (soaked overnight)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
Topping…
- 1 can of full fat coconut milk, solidified
- 1/4 cup raw cacao nibs
- 4 tbsp natural peanut butter
Directions:
- Blend shredded coconut, nuts and raw cacao powder together. Add dates and continue blending until thoroughly combined.
- Pour mixture into a round 8-inch pan lined with plastic wrap, then press down evenly to form crust. Set aside.
- After draining, blend soaked cashews. Add bananas, coconut milk, maple syrup and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
- Pour filling into pan and evenly spread over crust. Set aside in freezer for 1 hour.
- While pie is setting, blend peanut butter and coconut milk together to form whipped topping. Top immediately before serving.
Makes 6 servings.
This looks fantastic! So simple, but great flavours.
