Homemade banana cream, perfectly whipped coconut cream and fresh banana slices are layered to create this delicious old-fashioned banana cream pie. Making homemade banana cream pie is easier than you might think!

This recipe is for my 2-year-old son because he LOVES bananas. Especially banana cream pie. He kept asking me for another slice and I didn’t mind because it is made with wholesome ingredients and is naturally sweetened with Liva Date Sugar.

If you are new to using date sugar, LIVA date sugar is a pure, organic, all-natural and versatile whole food sugar alternative to traditional sweeteners made from just two ingredients – whole dehydrated raw organic dates and love. How amazing is that!?

LIVA date sugar is perfect for those who love the sweetness in their food and drinks but who do not want the negative effects of refined sugar.

Looking to get creative in the kitchen? Try LIVA in cooking, baking and even in your hot beverage like hot chocolate! There are honestly endless options to add this natural sweetener to the traditional dishes you love.

How is date sugar made?

LIVA is solar dried for two days and grinned into a powder. It retains most of the nutrition dates offers except Vitamin C is depleted. Its whole fruit sugar with nothing added or stripped, the biggest benefit is it has fibre and antioxidants properties!

Ingredients

Banana Cream

1/2 cup LIVA Date Sugar
1 1/2 400ml cans full-fat coconut milk
1 tbs. grass-fed gelatin powder unflavoured
2 bananas ripe
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. turmeric for colour
dash of sea salt

Crust

1 cup medjool dates pitted
3 tbs. ghee, coconut oil or organic butter
1 cup arrowroot flour or tapioca
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
3 tbs. apple sauce unsweetened

Toppings

coconut whip, sliced bananas, chocolate shavings, crushed walnuts or coconut flakes.

Instructions

Crust

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a high-speed blender, add in the dates and blend for one minute. Add in the coconut oil and blend for another 30 seconds.
Add in the remaining crust ingredients to the blender and blend until fully mixed. Approximately 1-2 minutes. You may need to scrape down the sides.
Add the mixture to a 9-inch pie or tart pan and press the dough out with your fingers. Bring the dough to the tops of the pan and make sure there are no cracks in the crust.
Once the dough is in the pan, bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until golden.
Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool for 30 minutes.

Banana Cream

In a medium bowl, add the coconut milk and gelatin together and mix until well combined. Let it sit for approximately 15 minutes to bloom.
Add the coconut milk mixture to a high-speed blender along with the two bananas, vanilla extract, LIVA Date Sugar, turmeric, and sea salt. Blend for 30 seconds.
Pour the mixture into the cooled pie crust and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes to set.
Once the pie has set, you can add your toppings! Try coconut whip, sliced bananas, chocolate shavings, crushed walnuts or coconut flakes.
