Instructions
- To make the base, process the base ingredients in a high speed blender or food processer until the mixture sticks together. Spoon the crust into a pie dish that is lined with cling wrap and press firmly, so that it is even around the base and edges. Place in the freezer overnight to set.
- To make the caramel layer, process all the ingredients in a high speed blender or food processor until completely combined and smooth. You may need to add a little more water to help blend the ingredients.
- To make the coconut whipped cream, remove the cream from the can and add to blender with vanilla extract and maple syrup. Blend on high speed until the cream thickens. Alternatively, you can use a mixer or hand beater. Refrigerate until needed.
- When ready to serve, remove the base from the pie dish, add the caramel filling, then top with the sliced banana and then the coconut cream. Place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to set.
- Remove from the refrigerator and sprinkle the cacao powder over the top. Serve immediately.
Notes
The cook time does not include the time it takes for the base to firm up as well as the pie to set.
