No-Bake Banana Cream Pie

[Guest guest]

I bought this book yesterday, and am enjoying it. Though I'm not familiar with

them, the authors are the creators of Delights of the Garden restauranta. It

looks like the food would appeal to most anyone - there's raw, vegan, and lots

od meat subs. And tofu, of coourse!

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

Crust:

2 cups almonds

1 cup unsweetened banana chips

1 cup dates -- (preferablu " medjool " dates), pitted and

chopped

1 cup raisina

1/2 cup shredded coconut

Filling:

6 tablespoons hot water -- (or if you prefer a slightly sweeter taste

substitute apple juice)

3 tablespoons agar-agar

3 tablespoons cane sugar

5 ripe bananas

2 teaspoons lemon juice

 

First, combine all the crust ingredients in a food processor using the S blade.

Let the food processor run until the dough is slightly sticky. This may take as

long as 7 minutes. You can tip the food processor from side to side to ensure

that all of the contents are getting processed (see illustrations on pages

152-53). You can also stop periodically and test to see if the mixture is

getting sticky. If it is, take it out, make a ball out of the

mixture using your hands, and press that ball into a 9 " pie pan. Place the crust

in the

freezer for ten minutes and remove. At this point the crust should be firm to

the touch.

 

Next, combine the agar agar flakes, sugar and water and stir until dissolved.

Cut your bananas in half and add them to the food processor and blend until

smooth. Add the dissolved agar agar and sugar and blend for 15 seconds. Add the

lemon Juice last and blend for another 15 seconds and taste. If you would like

it sweeter you can add a teaspoon or two more sugar, but remember that your

crust is also sweet so keep that in mind. Pour the banana custard in the pie

crust and cover with plastic wrap and let set in the refrigerator for 2 hours

and then serve.
