Black Bottom Banana Cream Pie

Vegan Banana Cream Pie

Prep Time 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour
Servings 6 - 4.75" individuals OR 1-9" Pie

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.
