No Bake Chocolate Banana Pie

Temperatures are starting to soar here in Saudi, which makes it the perfect time to whip up this quick and nourishing No Bake Chocolate Banana Pie!

A few reasons why you should make this No Bake Chocolate Banana Pie…

• It’s high in protein (from the nut butter) and healthy fats (from the coconut oil).
• No refined sugar here… banana and dates give this pie it’s natural sweetness.
• It’s quick and easy to put together.
• In addition, it’s gluten-free and paleo-friendly.
• And above all, it’s super delicious and refreshing! Everyone in my family loves it, even my picky eater discerning connoisseur!

If you’re in a hurry, you can easily make this pie without the crust. It would be more like a mousse in that case, and you could put it into individual ramekins or small bowls instead of a pie dish.

I store this pie in the freezer and thaw it just before eating.

Ingredients

For the Pie Filling:

• 1 cup nut butter of choice such as peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter
• 4 medium ripe bananas at room temperature
• 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder or cacao powder
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt or Himalayan salt
• sweetener of choice, to taste Such as stevia, honey, pure maple syrup, or coconut sugar. I like to use a pinch of stevia, or 2 tablespoons of maple syrup.

For the Crust:

• 1/2 cup nuts of choice
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut
• 1/3 cup pitted dates
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

• For the crust, combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until crumbs form. Transfer to a round pie dish. Press the crust into the pan firmly.
• For the pie filling, blend all ingredients until smooth (no need to clean the food processor after making the crust). Pour the filling over the crust, and refrigerate about 3 hours, or until firm. Or if you can't wait, put in the freezer until firm.
• Decorate with crushed nuts, chocolate chips, or chocolate sauce, if desired.
• Store left-overs in the freezer and thaw slightly before eating.
