Yield
1 pie
Crust ingredients:
- 1 cup cashews
- 1 cup dried, unsweetened coconut
- 1/2 cup dates
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Banana filling:
- 2 medium bananas
- 3/4 cup cashews
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
Recipe Directions
- 1. Place all crust ingredients in the food processor. Process until the mixture sticks together and the dates are well processed.
- 2. Dump crust mixture into your pie crust/glass dish. Press the crust down firmly in your dish with your hands. (Crust is now done.)
- 3. Add all banana filling ingredients to your blender. Blend until creamy and smooth.
- 4. Pour banana cream filling onto the crust. Smooth out with the back of a spoon.
- 5. Cover and throw in freezer. Ideally should be frozen overnight to firm up so that it can be sliced perfectly.
- 6. This raw banana cream pie recipe should always be kept in the freezer. (It'll get soggy if in the fridge.)
The Rawtarian's Thoughts

I was inspired to create this raw banana cream pie recipe for Christmas this year. It is soo smooth, so "banana creamy" and just absolutely perfect. (Can you tell I am on a freezer pie kick??)
It's actually pretty fast to make - just a quick food process and an easy blend. Even a crappy blender should be able to handle this raw recipe.
Using perfectly ripe bananas will give you that divine banana cream pie taste. (You want to use perfectly ripe bananas - not too green and not too brown.)
If you don't do honey you can do agave nectar or maple syrup instead of the honey. Use the same measurements.
Enjoy this raw banana cream pie recipe! Isn't it pretty?

Hello. Can anybody tell me if I should soak the cashews for the cream part? Thanks!

Hi Vanya,
No need to soak the cashews :)

Is there anything I could use in place of the coconut oil? Thanks!
The Rawtarian
Apr 11, 2014
No sorry Christina - the coconut oil is integral - it's what will help the recipe harden and solidify properly in the freezer

Got all the ingredients at home, am going to make it tomorrow for the bday of my dad, who is a banana-pie freak (but not so much into the health/raw stuff, so curious about his opinion!).
Just one question, how big is the pie crust/glas dish you are preparing it in?
Thanks a lot by the way for your great recipes, I love them xx

Hey Charlie! Probably 8" round pie dish? Happy bday to your pop!

Raw banana cream pie recipe
Just made this dessert, it's just been placed in the freezer.
Instead of dates I used raisins and cranberries. Also, in the base I added macadamias, and in the filling I added almonds and goji berries.
So, a slight variation on what is already a brilliant recipe! Can't wait to try it.
Avocado would also be good for the filling, I think.

Raw banana cream pie recipe
I cannot even begin to say how amazing this recipe is. I made it for the second time on Sunday and even thought I didn't quite have enough dates and the base turned out a bit crumbly rather than cohesive (my fault as I forgot to buy extra dates), it turned out even better than last time - I am embarassed to admit I had two slices and I think I saw my husband sneak another portion in. It is SO damn tasty. The first time I made it I took it to a party, and my friend and I stayed in the kitchen eating the scraps from the pie dish rather than joining in the party ..

Such a great desert! The first raw desert I've made and it was brilliant! Everyone in my family enjoyed it and said they could just keep eating it! My partner who is normally the cook said it's the best desert he's eaten in a long time! So simple and easy to follow! My perfect type of food! Also, being lactose intolerant, great desert without losing the fun :) hopefully it hasn't got too much fat or calories ha :) thanks so much x

Hi I was wondering if there is any recommended substitution for the coconut
The Rawtarian

Hi Allison,
In the crust, you could use hempseed hearts instead of the coconut. You could also use more cashews instead.
That being said, the coconut in the crust will give you the best texture, so use that if you can
