Recipe Directions
- 1. Place all crust ingredients in the food processor. Process until the mixture sticks together and the dates are well processed.
- 2. Dump crust mixture into your pie crust/glass dish. Press the crust down firmly in your dish with your hands. (Crust is now done.)
- 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.
- 5. Cover and throw in freezer. Ideally should be frozen overnight to firm up so that it can be sliced perfectly.
- 6. This raw banana cream pie recipe should always be kept in the freezer. (It'll get soggy if in the fridge.)
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian 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?

Hi Caroline, so glad you enjoyed! I wonder how I can make it easier for you in terms of converting. That would be cool if there was a button that could convert from cups to grams.. Doesn't exist on my website but it would be so cool if it did. I am sure you are not the only person with such a request :)

Hiya, thanks for all these amazing recipes. I just wondered if I put the cashews in soaked or unsoaked? I'm new to raw food and most of the recipes I've seen call for soaked cashews when making something creamy. Sorry if this is a stupid question!

There are no stupid questions! In my recipes, you do not have to soak unless I specifically say to soak in the recipe.
In this recipe no soaking is required.

Do you melt the coconut oil or put it in its semi solid/soft state?

Hi Helen, you can use it in its semi solid/soft state since it will get blended up in the blender :)

well this caused problems, made this last night took no time at all. as per the instructions let freeze overnight. did that, then I went to work at 07:00 in the morning. Of course the teenage son still sleeping i get home at 05:30 pm. wide variety of kids in the backyard, and what look like the pie dish was in the sink, I thought to my self no way they would have done that. Then he had the audacity to ask me that pie was great did you get a piece, I said the last i saw of the pie was it going in the freezer, now the plate is in the sink. I was told"well u need to make another one" good thing I do not own a gun

Well had to do a redue on this, however The Rawtarian left a very key ingredient, a big Bag of turnip greens, yes go to Costco get the biggest bag they have. You want the bag not the greens, surgically open the bag, do what ever with the greens, then put the pie in the plastic bag that says turnip greens, then grab one of the empty waffle boxes the your kids have left in the freezer( open side forward) and put it on top of the pie that is in the turnip green bag. Now you can leave for the day, week, month and you will always have this pie at the ready. without the threat of it be inhaled by the pack of those annoying things called teenagers.

I haven't tried this recipe but I want to asap. I was wondering though do you eat it frozen and is it like an ice cream pie? or do you thaw it out? Just wondering. thx!

Denise, the best way to enjoy this recipe is to keep it frozen AT ALL times, then cut a frozen slice, leave the slice on the counter for 10 minutes and then eat. YUMMM

Interested in the raw food idea and this recipe sounds lovely but myself and my eldest son both have nut allergies. Any suggestions for nut alternatives in the recipes? Thanks
The Rawtarian
Jan 09, 2013
Hi Cath, in general, it can be difficult to substitute - although you may find my podcast on nut substitutions helpful: http://www.therawtarian.com/rfp05-nut-substitutions
The best advice I can give is to avoid "substituting" instead, look for recipes that do not contain nuts... This is because things are never quite right once you start to tweak recipes :)
In general, cashews are used to provide a "creamy" texture.
In this recipe, cashews in the base (crust) could be substituted for sesame seeds if those are acceptable to you,
For the actual cream pie, you need those cashews and no other nut/seed would do (other than macadamia, but I assume those are a no-go too). I would then look for a different banana cream pie filling recipe that doesn't use cashews, which shouldn't be too hard cause the "creaminess" can be fulfilled by bananas instead, since they are very creamy too
