Coconut Banana Cream Pie Raw Vegan Recipes

COCONUT CREAM PIE (VEGAN + GF)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and either line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, or grease a standard pie dish (adjust number/size of pan if altering batch size). Set aside.
• Add oats, almonds, sea salt (optional), and coconut sugar to a high-speed blender and mix/pulse on high until a fine meal is achieved.
• Remove lid and add melted coconut oil, starting with 5 Tbsp (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) and adding more if it's too dry. Pulse/mix on low until a loose dough is formed, scraping down sides as needed. You should be able to squeeze the mixture between two fingers and form a dough instead of it crumbling. If too dry, add a bit more melted coconut oil.
• Transfer mixture to prepared pie pan or baking dish and spread evenly to distribute. Then place parchment paper on top and use a flat-bottomed object, such as a drinking glass, to press down firmly until it's evenly distributed and well packed on the bottom and up the sides. If using a pie pan, use your fingers to press it evenly as possible up the sides of the dish.
• Bake for 17-22 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and there is some browning on the surface. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
• In the meantime, prepare pudding by adding cornstarch, coconut sugar, and salt (optional) to a small saucepan and whisk in coconut milk to avoid clumps.
• Place over medium heat and cook until bubbling, whisking frequently. Then reduce heat to low and continue cooking for 4-6 more minutes, using a rubber spatula to scrape the sides and bottom almost constantly.
• Once it appears "jiggly" and a visible ribbon forms when you drizzle some over the top with your spatula, remove from heat. Whisk in vanilla and coconut flakes (optional - will add a 'crunchier' texture) and transfer to a glass or ceramic bowl and cover with plastic wrap, making sure the plastic wrap is touching the surface or it will form a film. Refrigerate until cooled and set - about 2-3 hours.
• In the meantime, place a medium-large glass mixing bowl in the freezer for your coconut whipped cream. Remove coconut cream cans from fridge, being careful not to shake or turn them and remove top.
• Gently scoop out the top hardened "cream" into the chilled bowl, leaving any liquid watery portion behind. You can use this for smoothies or in baking, if you wish. Otherwise discard it.
• Use a handheld mixer to whip the coconut cream until it begins to look like whipped cream - about 1 minute. Then add desired amount of organic powdered sugar. Beat again until light and airy - about 2-3 minutes - scraping down sides as needed. Set in refrigerator (covered) to chill.
• Once the pudding is completely cooled, is jiggly and set, add half of the coconut whipped cream and stir lightly until just combined. Set in refrigerator.
• Add custard-coconut whip mixture to the baked crust and smooth the top with a spoon, then cover with plastic wrap and set in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to chill/set.
• To serve, top with remaining coconut whipped cream and toasted coconut flake, slice, and enjoy! Store leftovers gently covered in the refrigerator up to 3 days, though best within the first 48 hours.

COCONUT BANANA CREAM PIE (RAW VEGAN)

Steps:

• Blend the crust indgredients in a food processor. Add more agave if needed to make crust sticky. Line pie pan with saran wrap and press crust on top or use a tart pan with a removable bottom. Place in freezer while making the filling.
• Blend the pie ingredients, except banana slices, in a blender until smooth. Make sure there is enough liquid to have the ingredients swirling in a vortex. Add coconut water, if needed.
• Take crust out from freezer and place sliced bananas on top of crust. Pour filling on top of bananas. Place in freezer for 3-4 hours to set. Decorate with walnuts, coconut shavings, or banana slices :D.

VEGAN BANANA CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Mix sugar, cornstarch, and salt in the top of a double boiler over simmering water until no lumps remain. Add almond milk and stir constantly, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until mixture begins to thicken, 8 to 12 minutes. Cover and cook for 10 more minutes.
• Whisk warm water and egg replacer together in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Slowly pour in about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture, whisking quickly as you pour. Pour this mixture back into the top of the double boiler and whisk until custard is thick and smooth, about 2 minutes. Do not overcook; the mixture will thicken as it cools.
• Remove from the heat and cool slightly, stirring occasionally to release steam, about 10 minutes. Stir in vanilla and let cool until just warm to the touch, about 10 more minutes.
• Pour cooled custard into the pie crust and decorate with sliced bananas. Cover and chill until firm, at least 4 hours.
