RAW BANOFFEE PIE

This pie … is so amazing. It’s probably one of my best creations to date. And you know that I make A LOT of raw desserts, right? :)

I first tried it in Bangkok, in a raw vegan restaurant called Rasayana Retreat (I really recommend going there if you are in Bangkok!). And since my first bite I just knew that I’ll want to recreate it as soon as possible.

So when we came back from Thailand I immediately went to work.

I bought bananas, waited for them to get ripe and did it. And may I just say, wow! It was such a success. Yummy! So delicious.

Bananas, caramel sauce, coconut cream, chocolate garnish… Heaven.
