HELLO DIVINE DESSERT!
For those of you who could not make it this weekend, we want to share a slice of the retreat with you 😉
This recipe has been nutrified from a traditional English dessert, Banoffee [Banana & Toffee] Pie! It is a HUGE crowd pleaser and will impress your guests. It also makes a great birthday cake or a gift to bring to a friends house!!
Preheat oven to 325F.
Add the Toffee Layer ingredients in a bowl and let the dates soak in the water to soften them.
Place hazelnuts in a food processor and process on high until they are are a flour like consistency. Add the dates, flax, vanilla, and chai spice mix. Process on high until the mixture becomes a thick dough and the dates have broken down. You may have to scrape down the sides of the processor if the ingredients get stuck.
Place the dough mixture in a pie tin and press until it evenly covers the pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool.
Add Toffee Layer [dates that have been soaking] to a blender and blend on high until smooth. Add Toffee Layer to the crust and spread evenly for the first layer.
Blend Banana Cream Layer ingredients in the blender on high until smooth. Add Banana Cream to the pie tin for the second layer.
Start layering the banana in the middle and work your way out to create a spiral! Add the other garnishes on top.
Refrigerate for 2 hours to let the filling firm up. Let serve cold or frozen!
