Vegan Banoffee Pie
Vegan Banoffee Pie made with date caramel and coconut whip. It's naturally sweetened and totally plant based!
Ingredients
For the base:
- 3 cups digestive cookie crumbs vegan
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
For the date caramel
- 2 cups date soaked in hot water for 30 minutes, Medjool, pitted
- ¾ cup plant-based milk unsweetened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of sea salt
For the coconut whip
- 2 coconut milk refrigerated overnight, full-fat, canned
Everything else
- 2 banana sliced, large
- dark chocolate for sprinkling
Instructions
- Place the dates in a bowl and cover with hot water. Set aside to soak while you are preparing the other ingredients.
- Place the digestive cookie crumbs in the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Pour the melted coconut oil over top, and using a fork, mix it into the cookie crumbs.
- Using a spatula or the bottom of a glass, press the cookie crumbs down in a firm, even layer.
- Place the pan into the fridge to chill while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
- Drain the dates well and place in a food processor with plant-based milk, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Pulse a few times to combine, and then blend until smooth.
- To make the coconut whip, open the chilled cans of coconut milk and scoop the firm layer of coconut cream off of the top, into a bowl. Whisk with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- To assemble the pie, spread the date caramel over the chilled digestive crust.
- Top with an even layer of sliced bananas, followed by the coconut cream.
- Top the pie with additional banana slices and shaved dark chocolate if desired.
- Chill for at least one hour before serving.
- To serve, carefully release the ring from the springform pan. Slice into small pieces and lift out using a pie server.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- To make digestive cookie crumbs, place a package of vegan digestives into your food processor and run until you have fine-grain crumbs.
- If you can't find vegan digestives, you could sub vegan graham crackers instead.
- Look for a brand of coconut milk that doesn't contain stabilizers that prevent the coconut cream from separating.
