Creamy Vegan Banana Cream Pie With Fresh Banana Layers

I made this vegan banana cream pie for my coworker’s going-away party last week. The banana layers stayed fresh, and she said it was the best going-away gift she received.

Made with simple ingredients, the Vegan Banana Cream Pie Recipe is easy to follow and will impress both vegan and non-vegan guests alike. The combination of banana and vanilla creates a flavorful experience that’s hard to resist.

Delicious Vegan Banana Cream Pie

This vegan banana cream pie features a homemade crust filled with a creamy banana pudding layer and topped with fresh banana slices. The pie takes about 1 hour to prepare and sets well in the refrigerator, making it an excellent choice for any occasion or celebration.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs or vegan cookie crumbs
• 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
• 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
• 2 cups almond milk or other plant-based milk
• 1/2 cup coconut cream
• 1/3 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 cup sugar or coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder for color (optional)
• 3 ripe bananas sliced
• Additional banana slices and coconut whipped cream for topping (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then cool completely.
2. Make the Pudding: In a saucepan, whisk together almond milk, coconut cream, cornstarch, sugar, vanilla extract, and turmeric powder (if using). Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble.
3. Layer the Pie: Remove the pudding from heat and let it cool slightly. Slice two bananas and layer them on the cooled crust. Pour half of the pudding mixture over the bananas, followed by the remaining bananas and then the rest of the pudding.
4. Chill: Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until set.
5. Serve: Before serving, top with additional banana slices and coconut whipped cream if desired. Slice and enjoy your creamy vegan banana cream pie!
