Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 1/4 cup melted vegan butter
  • 1 1/2 cup vegan graham cracker crumbs 170 g (I used some vegan GF ones from Whole Foods)
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

For the filling

  • 1 1/2 cups 217 g Medjool dates (I used 14)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 overripened banana sliced

For the topping

  • 1 can of full fat coconut milk 13.5 fl. oz/400 mL refrigerated overnight
  • 1/4 cup icing sugar
  • 1 tbsp vegan chocolate shavings made with a vegetable peeler

Instructions

For the crust:

  • Preheat oven to 375ºF (190ºC)
  • Combine melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and cinnamon until thoroughly mixed.
  • Press into a lightly greased pie pan and bake for 10 minutes. You'll find the crust is puffy when you pull it out: you can either leave it as is or you can use a bottom of a glass (or the insert from a food processor like I did) to press the crust down again. I like a firmer graham crust so I pressed it again, but if you like it lighter, you can leave it puffy. Let cool on a wire rack as you prepare the filling.

For the filling:

  • Pit and chop the dates. You can choose the blend them with the water and vanilla extract for a super smooth filling, or you can leave it sort of rustic and chunky. I blended it. In a small pot, cook the filling until thickened and bubbling, about 10 minutes. Add filling to the crust and refrigerate to set up for at least an hour.
  • Once the pie is chilled, add a layer of sliced bananas.

For the whipped topping:

  • Drain the separated liquid from the refrigerated coconut milk, and scoop out the solid cream. Whip with icing sugar and add on top of the sliced bananas.
  • Sprinkle with shaved chocolate and serve!
