This was an easy and delicious recipe to follow and enjoy! We addd a pinch of sea salt to bring out the natural sweetness of the fruit- the crust came out perfect after about 12-15 mins in a convection oven (bc we used a few more dates and cashews so it needed more time to become golden brown), and the ripe bananas layered between the super creamy and light filling, topped with crispy toasted coconut shavings, made it a #TeamTexture, delicious, Banana Cream Pie! Plant based never tasted so satisfying. Thank You for sharing this recipe!:)
Do you have a suggestion of what I can substitute for the cashews in this recipe. My son is allergic to cashews. This is my biggest struggle in trying to become vegan.
You could use raw almonds that have been soaked for a few hours =)
