Crust ingredients:
- 1 cup cashews

- 1/4 cup lemon juice

Recipe Directions
- 1. Place all crust ingredients in the food processor. Process until the mixture sticks together and the dates are well processed.

- 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.

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?

I FINALLY got around to making the today, and I wish I had tried it sooner! Both my husband and I absolutely loved it. I am new to raw foods, and was nervous to try this recipe, but it was so simple, and your instructions were so easy to follow. This was a wonderful summer treat, and I will definitely make it again. Thank you!!!

Hi Logan, AWESOME! I felt the same way about making almond milk. I procrastinated for years, and then finally did it and was all, "Why did I wait for 3 years to try??" Sometimes we get a bit intimidated. Or maybe the timing just wasn't right until RIGHT NOW :)

Just made this pie and I am sooo impatient for it to harden up enough to be taken out. Thanks for another amazing recipe! I would like to add that a crappy blender may not stand a chance even with this, as my not-so crappy blender started smoking and made a horrible grinding noise. Lesson learned, will be getting a food processor. :)

I love this recipe! Thank you so much! I shared this banana cream pie with my friends and they also loved it! :)
The only mistake I did was I used unripe banana.... But it was still delicious! So now, I can't wait to make this again with ripe banana :P

Ahaaah yes, unripe bananas are sooo bitter, pasty and weird. It'll be much better (and much sweeter) when you make with perfectly ripe bananas (nice and yellow, just starting to speckle with a few brown spots on peel).

For the banana filling, should I soak the cashews first

This is honestly the BEST banana cream pie I have ever tasted. My husband and I are loving it. Thank you Laura Jane for creating all your amazing recipes. This one is even better than our other fave, the chocolate covered shortbread bars.

I looove your website and all your recipes, they're fantastic! I just have a query about this Banana Cream Pie recipe, Im a student and so I don't have very much money and I was just wondering if I could swap the coconut oil for coconut cream as a cheaper alternative? Would the banana filling still turn out the same consistency?
The Rawtarian
Apr 20, 2013
Hi Ashleigh,
Unfortunately, the coconut oil is TOTALLY necessary and you cannot substitute coconut cream for it. The reason is that "coconut oil" is what helps the filling solidify when cold.
The good news is that although coconut oil is really expensive, it lasts for a long time and most recipes only use a little bit of it at a time.
Hope this helps!

This is divine!!!! Our children love it!!! I substitute the sweetener with "rice malt syrup" (which doesn't contain fructose). Tastes a treat. Thank you. We've made it several times and it is soooo yummy and creamy and delicious ... you can tell we like it, hey?!!! with love from Australia
