Method
- Line a 20cm pie dish with greaseproof paper.
- For the base, tip the walnuts, coconut oil and cinnamon into a blender and pulse until the mixture becomes a dough-like consistency.
- Pour the mixture into the lined pie dish, pressing down firmly into the corners. Pop the dish in the fridge to set for approximately 30 minutes.
- While the base is chilling, add coconut oil, sugar, vanilla pod seeds and pitted dates to a non-stick pan and bring to the boil for 1 minute, before blitzing in a blender until smooth.
- Slice three bananas, remove the set base from the fridge and layer the bananas into the base, keeping a few spare to decorate.
- Pour the filling mixture over the sliced bananas and base and replace in the fridge for a further 45 minutes.
- To create the tasty topping, pour the full-fat coconut milk into a bowl (if using from a tin discarding the watery liquid that sits on top). Add 1 tbsp agave nectar and whip until light and fluffy.
- Remove the pie from the fridge and add the topping over the filling. Decorate with the remaining banana slices and a few shavings of dark chocolate. Serve immediately (it melts really quickly!)
