Healthy Banana Coconut Cream Pie

December 8, 2016May 21, 2017 Melissa King 16 Comments

OMG, you guys. This Healthy Banana Coconut Cream Pie is EPIC. It’s been a long time in the making. I actually attempted a similar recipe last year and it didn’t quite turn out right. I am pleased to say that this healthy pie recipe came out awesome!

This pie is vegan, gluten free, paleo and free of refined sugars. There are a few steps, but I promise it’s pretty easy. I am also including a video tutorial in the post for you. If videos are more your thing, you can follow my You Tube channel as well.

If you wanted to make this nut free, you can always use a different crust recipe. Oat flour may work nicely as well. If anyone makes the crust with oat flour, please leave me a comment and let me know how it turned out.

The banana mixture itself would also make an amazing topping over ice cream. Yum!

Chocolate Almond Butter Mousse Pie

Calling all nut butter lovers! This Chocolate Almond Butter Mousse Pie is a must try! It starts with a date-sweetened almond pecan crust. Then it’s filled with a luxurious almond butter chocolate mousse. This pie may have a few steps to make it, but it’s completely no-bake and very simple despite the long instruction list. It’s worth every minute.

This pie kind of reminded me of my chocolate mousse pie. It’s also similar to my chocolate pumpkin mousse pie. You really can’t go wrong when you are talking about any chocolate mousse!

This rich and creamy pie is no-bake, vegan, gluten free AND paleo approved! So it’s basically for everyone and needs to be a staple at your holiday dessert party. Trust me! I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

If you need a nut-free version, you can make the crust out of sunflower and pumpkin seeds and then use sunflower butter in the filling. Another great idea would be to sprinkle some coarse ground sea salt on top. Yum! I will be trying that next time for sure!
