Author Notes

I love banana cream pie, especially during the summer time. There is nothing better than a cool dessert on a hot summer day. I am also pretty obsessed with almond butter and was looking for a way to create a healthier dessert. BAM! This is the best of both worlds, a creamy, nutty almond butter combined with bananas and maple syrup for a sweet filling. It all gets poured over an almond date crust that makes for an absolutely to die for dessert! —misschels

Made this tonight, and it's really delicious. There was quite a bit more crust than filling, however, and I think I may not have processed the filling enough, because it was soupy and never really set up in the freezer. But it was just delicious.

I am sooooo glad you enjoyed it! It is one of my fave desserts. :) Yes, if you don't process the filling enough that can definitely happen :)

Looking for a desert to take to a vegan potluck. This will be great. I'll try to make it in individual cups
