Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the crust. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond flour and a pinch of salt. Mix well to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.
- Next, melt 1/4 cup of coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat or in a microwave-safe bowl. Once melted, pour the coconut oil into the almond flour mixture.
- Stir the almond flour and melted coconut oil together until the mixture is well combined and has a crumbly texture. It should hold together when pressed between your fingers.
- Transfer the crust mixture into a 9-inch pie dish. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the dish to form a crust. Use your fingers or the back of a measuring cup to ensure it's compact.
- Once the crust is formed, place it in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
- For the filling, peel and slice the 2 ripe bananas. Set aside a few slices for garnish later.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the remaining banana slices, 1 cup of coconut cream, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp of salt.
- Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as necessary to ensure everything is well incorporated.
- Once the filling is smooth, remove the pie crust from the refrigerator. Pour the banana cream filling into the crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- After the filling is spread evenly, cover the pie with plastic wrap or a lid and place it back in the refrigerator to set for at least 30 minutes.
- Once the pie has set, remove it from the refrigerator and garnish with the reserved banana slices on top. You can also add additional coconut cream or a sprinkle of almond flour for decoration if desired.
- Slice the pie into 8 servings and enjoy your No Bake Vegan Banana Cream Pie Paleo!
Tips
- Use extremely ripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness and creamier texture
- Ensure your coconut cream is chilled before blending for a thicker filling
- For a firmer crust, press the almond flour mixture extra firmly into the pie dish
- Let the pie set for at least 30 minutes, but for best results, chill for 2-3 hours
- If the filling seems too runny, add a bit more coconut cream or chill longer
- Use a high-speed blender for the smoothest, most luxurious filling possible
- For added texture, consider sprinkling some toasted almond slivers on top before serving
