Vegan Banana Cream Pie — Dreamy, Creamy, and Made with Love 💛

This pie is everything you want in a dessert — light, fluffy, sweet, and silky-smooth! And the best part? It’s 100% vegan, easy to make, and tastes just like the classic version. 🥧

This recipe is extra special because it was made for a 14th birthday (happy birthday, chef! 🎉) — and it’s proof that plant-based baking can be simple, delicious, and fun.

🌿 Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups crushed vegan graham crackers or digestive biscuits
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil or vegan butter
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

For the Filling:

  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened plant milk (oat, soy, or almond)
  • ½ cup coconut cream (thick part from a chilled can)
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ½ cup organic sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • A pinch of salt

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup vegan whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
  • Fresh banana slices 🍌

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Make the crust:
Mix the crushed crackers, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup until crumbly. Press into a pie dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes until slightly golden. Cool completely.

2️⃣ Prepare the filling:
In a saucepan, whisk together plant milk, coconut cream, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thick and creamy (about 5–7 minutes). Remove from heat, stir in mashed bananas and vanilla.

3️⃣ Assemble the pie:
Pour the warm filling into the cooled crust. Smooth the top, then chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

4️⃣ Add the finishing touch:
Once chilled, spread vegan whipped cream over the top and decorate with fresh banana slices.

5️⃣ Slice, serve, and enjoy!

💡 Tips from a Young Baker:
✨ Chill the pie overnight for the perfect texture.
🍌 Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth.
🌿 Use firm, yellow bananas (not too ripe) for neat slices on top.

🥰 This Vegan Banana Cream Pie is pure happiness in a slice — creamy, nostalgic, and made with heart. If this is what a 14-year-old beginner can make, we can’t wait to see what he bakes next! 🌟👏
