vegan-gluten-free-paleo-dessert

Ready for a sneak peak recipe from my cookbook that I announced last week here? I thought so… I’ve got a fabulous raw dessert recipe for you today {from my cookbook EATING CLEAN} and it’s free of gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, refined sugar and grains!

Chocolate, coconut and bananas like you’ve never seen them before. Trust me. You’re going to love this.

This is one of my favorite desserts to make- it’s super easy (raw means no baking involved) and looks beautiful when served for any occasion. I created this recipe last summer when I was in the mood for serving something sweet to my family at the shore. The ingredients are simple and the flavor is out-of-this-world. You’ll be pleasantly surprised that there aren’t any inflammatory ingredients in this recipe (or any recipe in my book).

This is just 1 of over 200 recipes in my cookbook that are delicious and satisfying–not restrictive! When you pre-order my NEW COOKBOOK HERE from one of these online retailers you’ll get 6 Free Exclusive Recipes that are NOT in my cookbook when you enter your purchase code on my landing page! Trust me, Detox is not what you think. All the recipes in this book, including the recipe below, are detox-approved. I can’t wait to hear what you think about this dessert…it’s so yummy. Enjoy!

Ingredients

AMIE'S GRAIN FREE PIE CRUST:

COCONUT BANANA TART:

Instructions

Make the Crust:

  1. Place the almonds in a food processor and process until coarsely chopped. With the machine still running, add the dates, water, vanilla and salt until it forms a sticky dough. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides as needed to help the almond mixture process easily to form a doughlike consistency.
  2. Firmly press the crust mixture into a parchment paper-lined 8x8 inch baking or tart pan to form a thick crust on the bottom and up the four sides of the pan.

Make the Tart:

  1. Combine the bananas, coconut milk, cocoa powder, vanilla and honey in a blender; puree until smooth. Pour the mixture over the pie crust. Sprinkle with the almonds and cacao nibs. Cover with wax or parchment paper and freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  2. Thaw the tart on the counter until it's soft enough to cut into 9 squares, at least 45 minutes. Store leftover squares in a sealed container in the freezer for up to 4 days.
