What You’ll Need 🛒
- 1 pre-baked vegan pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 3 large ripe bananas (one for the custard, two for layering)
- 1 can full-fat coconut milk (for that ultra-creamy texture!)
- 1 ½ cups non-dairy milk (like almond, oat, or soy)
- ¼ cup cornstarch (to thicken the custard)
- ½ cup maple syrup or cane sugar (for natural sweetness!)
- ¼ tsp salt (to enhance the flavors!)
- 2 tbsp vegan butter (for that rich, smooth finish!)

How to Make This Dreamy Banana Cream Pie!
1️⃣ Make the Banana Custard
In a saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, non-dairy milk, cornstarch, maple syrup, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Mash one banana and stir it into the custard along with vanilla extract and vegan butter. Let it cool slightly.
2️⃣ Assemble the Layers
Slice the remaining bananas and arrange them over the pre-baked pie crust. Pour the warm custard over the banana slices, spreading it evenly.
3️⃣ Chill & Set
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) until the custard is completely set.
4️⃣ Add the Final Touches
Top with a generous layer of fluffy vegan whipped cream and fresh banana slices.
5️⃣ Slice, Serve & Enjoy!
The moment you cut into this pie, you’ll see the dreamy layers come to life—silky, creamy, and absolutely irresistible!
