Description

Directions

• Add the ingredients for the crust to a food processor and process until the almonds are finely chopped (but still fairly chunky), and a sticky mixture is formed. Line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper and press the crust mixture into the bottom, creating an even layer. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Open the two cans of refrigerated coconut milk and scoop the thick coconut cream into a mixing bowl (or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment), leaving the clear water behind to use in smoothies or a different recipe.
• Add the pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the mixing bowl and use a hand mixer to beat the ingredients until thick and fluffy. It’s okay if the mixture doesn’t have the same consistency as regular homemade whipped cream, so long as it’s thick.
• Pour ¼ to ? of the coconut whipped cream onto the prepared crust and spread into an even layer. Layer the sliced bananas on top, followed by the remaining coconut whipped cream. Use a rubber spatula to evenly spread the coconut whipped cream.
• Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours. When ready to serve, release the pie from its mold and garnish with grated dark chocolate and chopped almonds and pistachios. Use a sharp knife to cut into triangles and serve immediately.
• Note: If you freeze the pie for longer than two hours, you may need to thaw it 8 to 10 minutes before cutting and serving, as the coconut milk will harden. Store leftover banana cream pie in the freezer.
