Ingredients

CRUST
2 cups raisins (these may be soaked for 1-2 hours to soften)
2 cups walnuts
½ cup carob powder (Optional: 1/4 to 1/2 cup carob powder, if you're really looking for an authentically fudgey taste. Begin with 1/4 cup, blend and add until you reach the desired taste)
CREME FILLING
4 to 5 bananas
1 cup unsweetened coconut (shredded)
½ cup apple juice (raw or juiced)
2 teaspoons tahini
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon pure vanilla

Recipe Directions

CRUST

1. In a food processor, combine raisins and walnuts and blend until moist and fudgey looking (this may turn into a ball—that’s okay, just make sure you can still see pieces of the walnut. This should not look grainy from too much processing).

2. To give this an even fudgier taste, try adding a bit of carob powder. This may not be necessary, because the raisins and walnuts really do provide that effect.

3. Remove the mixture from the food processor and mold onto a plate or pie pan.

CREME FILLING

4. Mash 2 bananas and place in a blender or food processor with the apple juice, ½ cup of coconut, tahini, honey, and vanilla. Blend until smooth. Remove from food processor and place in a bowl.

5. Slice the remaining bananas and mix into the filling, leaving a few to arrange on top of the pie.

6. Pour mixture onto crust, arrange banana slices, and sprinkle the remaining coconut on top.

7. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for decoration.

8. Place in the freezer for about 30 minutes prior to serving. Slice and serve.

Live food recipe that tastes like the real thing.
