Chocolate Banana Freezer Pie Recipe

Chocolate Banana Freezer Pie

Serves: 8
Hands-on time: 15 minutes
Total time: 5 hours (includes freezing time)

INGREDIENTS:

5 small ripe bananas (about 1 lb), peeled and broken or cut into small pieces
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup light coconut milk
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 baked pie crust
2 tbsp unsalted dry roasted peanuts, chopped
1 oz dark chocolate (70% or greater), finely chopped

INSTRUCTIONS:

Combine bananas, cocoa, coconut milk and vanilla in the jar of a blender. Blend until very smooth (like thin cake batter), stopping to scrape down sides of jar and stir mixture 2 or 3 times (to ensure all banana is puréed).
Pour banana purée into baked pie crust. Sprinkle peanuts and chocolate across surface of pie. Cover very tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or overnight.
To serve, remove plastic wrap and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes (longer if pie was frozen for more than 4 hours), until pie is just soft enough to yield to the cut of a knife. Slice and serve.
