No Bake Vegan Banoffee Pie Recipes

NO-BAKE VEGAN BANOFFEE PIE

Steps:

• Ahead of time, begin by preparing the cashews for the filling. Soak the cashews in water for a minimum of 4 hours before rinsing with clean water and draining them, or quick soak in boiled water for 1 hour.
• If you are using raw buckwheat groats, you will need to toast them. Using a pan over medium heat, roast them in batches for 4 to 5 minutes until they begin to brown, tossing them so they brown evenly. Allow them to cool before using.
• To prepare the crust, put the buckwheat, oats and salt in your food processor and blitz until they form a tight crumb consistency. Add in the coconut oil, maple syrup and nutmeg and blend until the mixture begins to stick together to form a dough.
• Line the bottom of a 9 x 3-inch (23 x 7.5-cm) cake pan with some parchment paper before pressing the dough into the bottom and approximately 2½ inches (6.5 cm) up the sides of the pan. Use the flat bottom of a glass to smooth out the dough evenly. Trim the top edges with a knife to make them smooth and even. Set aside in the freezer while you make the rest of the pie.
• For the filling, put all the filling ingredients in your high-speed blender and blitz until smooth and creamy without any lumps. Pour the mixture into the pan and tap the tin on your counter to knock out any air bubbles. Place in the freezer to set for 2 hours.
• Clean your blender and next make the caramel by putting all of the ingredients in it and blitzing them until they form a smooth paste. Remove the pie from the freezer, spoon the caramel on top of the pie and smooth out using a spatula. Place the pie back in the freezer to set fully for another 2 hours.
• Once ready, remove the pie from the pan while still frozen. Slice the bananas into coins and dip them into the lemon juice. This will prevent them from discoloring. Put them on a sheet of parchment paper to remove any excess moisture. Arrange the banana coins in a circular design to cover the entire top of the tart.
• For the cream, put the coconut milk, vanilla extract and maple syrup in a bowl and whisk using your electric mixer until soft peaks form. Transfer the cream to a piping bag fitted with an open star tip and pipe some peaks on top of the pie.
• Lastly, to prepare the sauce, put the peanut butter and maple syrup in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Drizzle the sauce on top of the pie, sprinkle with dark chocolate chunks, if desired, and serve.

Steps:

• Add walnuts and pitted dates to the food processor and process. It will first be crumbly and then gradually will become doughy and start to stick together as the nuts release their oils. Process until it reaches this sticky dough stage.
• Transfer to a 9-inch round pie dish and press down firmly, working it up along the sides a little bit.
• Place into the freezer to set while you make the filling.
• To make the date caramel a bit easier, first microwave your dates for 30 seconds, this will soften them up and make them easier to process. You can skip this step but it will just take a little longer.
• Add the dates to the food processor and process. It will first form a giant ball of toffee and then will gradually break up and stick to the sides of the food processor. Keep processing, until the giant ball is mostly broken up.
• Heat the coconut cream in the microwave for 30 seconds and then add it to the food processor gradually while the food processor is running. If you don't need the full cup, then don't use it all. You are going for a very creamy date caramel texture here. Thick is good, but you want it to be smooth and creamy.
• Add in the almond butter and process until well mixed in.
• Spread the caramel filling over the top of the crust and smooth it down.
• Return it to the freezer while you prepare the topping.
• To make your whipped cream, you need to have had a can of coconut cream chilling in the fridge overnight at least. Remove the chilled can from the fridge, being careful not to shake it. Open it and you'll see the cream has risen to the top, leaving the watery part behind.
• Scoop out only this cream section into the bowl of your stand mixer.
• Start at slow speed and then gradually increase speed until it reaches a whipped cream consistency.
• Slice the bananas and then lightly brush them with the lemon juice (avoids discoloration).
• Spread a layer of sliced banana on top of the caramel layer.
• Spread the vegan whipped cream on top, add the rest of the sliced banana and finish off with vegan chocolate shavings.

Steps:

• TO MAKE THE BASE
• Line a 9-inch loose-base flan tin with grease-proof paper

• Press the mixture into the lined tin making sure its compact. Pop the tin into the freezer whilst you make the caramel sauce
• TO MAKE THE CARAMEL SAUCE
• Add the coconut cream, sugar and cornstarch into a medium-sized saucepan and whisk together over medium heat
• Whisk continuously for about 10-15 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken. Once thick, turn off the heat and allow it to cool slightly
• Finely slice the bananas and place them into a bowl with a teaspoon of lemon juice. This prevents the bananas from browning
• Layer the bananas evenly on the crust and pour over the caramel sauce, making sure to even it out. You can add extra sliced banana on the top of the sauce (optional)
• Place the pie into the fridge to set overnight.
