Units
Scale
- 0.75 cups (177 ml) raw almonds
- 0.75 cups (177 ml) raw cashews
- 0.75 cups (177 ml) toasted coconut
- 10 pitted Medjool dates
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 1 cups (237 ml) raw cashews
- 2 cups (473 ml) filtered water
- Additional filtered water
- 1 cups (237 ml) cashew cream
- 2 overripe bananas
- 0.25 cups (59 ml) maple syrup
- 0.25 cups (59 ml) lemon juice
- 0.33 cups (79 ml) coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
Instructions
- Place all crust ingredients in a food processor and blend until well incorporated, adding a Medjool date or almond milk if needed to achieve a clumping consistency.
- Spray a removable bottom tart pan with baking spray with flour, pour in the crust, and press firmly into the pan, going up the sides.
For the Cashew Cream
- Soak raw cashews in filtered water overnight in the refrigerator.
- Rinse soaked cashews with cold water and let dry for 15 minutes.
- Blend cashews in a high-powered blender with enough filtered water to almost cover them (adjust water for desired thickness) on high speed for about 1 minute, until completely smooth and creamy.
- Store cashew cream in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze.
For the Filling
- Blend all filling ingredients until smooth and creamy; adjust flavor as needed.
- Pour the filling into the crust.
- Optional: Freeze the pie, thaw for 15 minutes, add sliced bananas and melted almond butter to the top before slicing and serving.
Notes
- To ensure a smooth crust, pulse the ingredients in short bursts to avoid over-processing.
- If your bananas aren’t very ripe, add a teaspoon of maple syrup to the filling for extra sweetness.
- For a richer flavor, use a high-quality vanilla bean paste instead of extract.
