Banana Cream Pie
This recipe was created exactly one year after my first blog post as a way of celebrating the momentous occasion. If you have a little extra time on your hands, this pie is a recipe you'll want to make.
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 recipe Date-Walnut Spread
Filling
- 6 ounces firm or extra-firm tofu, drained
- 2 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced (about 2 cups)
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ cup Date Honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Topping
- 1 ripe banana, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds (about 1 cup)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes
Instructions
- Prepare Date-Walnut Spread according to recipe directions.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Using a spatula, press Date-Walnut Spread into pie plate, pressing dough ¾ of the way up sides (spread will be gooey). Bake 20-25 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. Cool 20 minutes on a wire rack.
- While crust is baking, add filling ingredients to a food processor or blender. Process about 30 seconds or until smooth. Pour filling into pie crust. Refrigerate at least four hours or until chilled (overnight is best).
- To serve, place banana slices in a bowl, and pour in lemon juice. Coat bananas well, and drain (keeps them from turning brown). Spread banana slices on top of pie in a circular pattern, and sprinkle with walnuts and coconut flakes.
- Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1 slice)

Notes
- Add another banana and place slices on top of cooked, cooled crust. Pour pie filling over slices.
- Place in freezer for about 2 hours to make a frozen treat.
- Save reserved date soaking water from Date-Walnut Spread recipe and substitute it for the almond milk.
Hi! My name is Chelsea. These recipes sound delicious! Dear fellow children of God, don’t forget what fasting is about and how we get our rewards from it. Also, don’t forget to have someone like your pastor praying for you in this time because the devil will come against you as hard as he can while you are putting your flesh under submission. Have a blessed day everyone!
My neighbor and I are doing the fast together. I made this pie and it is so good! I froze mine so it was like a banana Eskimo pie. Thank you so much for this recipe. It’s great to know that I can still be faithful to the fast while having a sweet tooth.
Hi! I’m so glad you’re doing the Daniel Fast AND that you enjoyed this recipe! May the Lord bless you abundantly as you fast and pray!
We are starting our Fast on January-10 to February-01.
I thank God for your book – I purchased it on Dec-2012 and has been my guide through my daily devotionals. Can’t wait for your next book. God Bless.
Hi, Enith! I’m glad you’re doing the fast and that you’ve been blessed by first book, The Ultimate Guide to the Daniel Fast. My new book, Spiritually Strong, was released yesterday! You can order it online or find it in your local bookstore. May God bless you in abundant ways this year!
