Finally a Vegan Banana Cream Pie that is so easy to make and more delicious than any Banana Cream Pie you remember!
A no bake recipe that is ready in about an hour!
A quick graham cracker crust pressed into individual tart molds make the best little single serving desserts
That’s the beauty of these little individual tart molds that I have been using for all The Best Cream Pie Recipes in this series.
Mini deserts are so much better for giving away, since if you have a whole giant pie, well.. you can see how difficult that might be to try to give slices!
You can of course take an even easier route and go for a store bought crust instead!
For a full size family pie that cuts your prep time in half!

Vegan Banana Cream Pie
Prep Time
1 hour
Total Time
1 hour
Ingredients
For the Crust
- Graham Crackers 40 Sheets (150g)
- Vegan Butter 9 Tablespoons (126g)
For the Custard
- Plant Milk 2 cups (474ml)
- Granulated Sugar ½ cup (100g)
- Cornstarch 6 Tablespoons (48g)
- Vegan Butter 2 Tablespoons (28g)
- Vanilla Extract 1 teaspoon (5ml)
- Fresh Bananas 2 medium (approximately 1 cup mashed banana) (180g)
- 1 Recipe Vegan Whipped Cream
- OR 1 Tub CocoWhip by SoDelicious
Instructions
- First prepare the graham cracker crust by placing the cracker sheets in a food processor and process to fine crumbs.
- Add the melted vegan butter and process until it resembles wet sand.
- Divide evenly (about 1/2 cup per individual tart mold) or the entire mixture into a 9" pie plate.
- You can freeze until the custard is ready OR I prefer to bake the crust(s) for 12-15 minutes to golden, this also helps keep the crusts from falling apart when you serve the pie. *This is completely optional! It is not 100% necessary.
- For the custard, combine the plant milk, cornstarch & sugar in a medium sauce pot over medium to high heat and bring to a boil stirring constantly to avoid scorching the bottom .
- Once it starts to bubble remove from the heat and add the vegan butter and vanilla extract and stir until melted and smooth.
- Add the mashed bananas and whisk to incorporate
- Pour the custard into the prepared crust(s) and cover the tops directly on the custard to avoid oxidation of the bananas in the custard as it cools.
- Prepare the coconut whipped cream of your choice from my blog post all about Vegan Whipped Cream OR thaw out your tub of CocoWhip.
- Once the pie(s) has cooled, generously ice the entire top(s) with the whipped cream and garnish with your choice of decor.
