Raw Banana Cream Pie recipe

[Guest guest]

I made this today, it is delicious. So easy.

 

When making the 'cream' I needed to add more orange juice and I used 3 dates. If

I'd used 4 I'm sure it would be too sweet. I used macadamia nuts.

Raw banana cream pie recipe

 

Preparation

 

Soak 1 cup of almonds for 12 hours and drain off the brown water. Rinse them

well.

 

Crust

 

Place 1 cup of almonds in a food processor and process until finely chopped. (I

had slightly more, it worked out ok for 9 " pie plate)

Set aside the finely chopped almonds in a large bowl.

 

Take 1 cup of pitted dates and place in the food processor.

Add 1 tablespoon of cold-pressed olive oil or coconut oil to prevent the dates

from sticking.

 

Add 1/2 teaspoon of orange zest (the skin of the orange without any white part).

 

Optional: Add the juice of 1/2 of the orange to make the batter softer. (I had

to add the extra orange juice for the 'cream' to be smoother)

 

Food process until the dates form a ball which spins around the container.

 

Remove and place in the bowl with the almonds.

 

Knead the nuts and dates with your hands until well mixed. (I used the food

processor)

Press the crust into a pie dish.

 

Filling

 

Fill the pie dish with sliced or diced bananas.

 

Make a cream filling using pine nuts or macadamia nuts. (I used macadamia nuts)

 

1 cup of pine nuts or macadamia nuts,

1/4 cup orange juice, and (I added more orange juice for smoothiness and

creaminess

2-4 dates blended in a blender until super smooth and creamy. (I used 3)

 

Pour the cream filling over the top of the bananas and indulge!

 

Enjoy, Marsha
