I’ve been dreaming of this dessert for a long time now…Banana Pudding with Coconut Whipped Cream!

Banana cream pie is one of my all-time favorite desserts.  Here is a simplified and veganfied version of the old-fashioned classic!  Add a dollop of coconut whipped cream and a few vanilla cookies for a kid-approved treat!  I’m not a huge fan of pie crust, so substituting with a few animal crackers hits the spot and adds a little crunch!

Here is a great tutorial on how to make coconut whipped cream from Oh She Glows!  I use maple syrup to sweeten mine!

This pudding is void of hydrogenated oils, artificial flavorings, food coloring and trans fat!

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan over medium low heat whisk together milk, sugar and corn starch. Bring to a light boil, constantly whisking for 5 minutes or until mixture starts to thicken. Turn off heat, whisk in sea salt and vanilla. Fold in sliced bananas and transfer to a baking dish or bowl. Cool and cover, refrigerate until chilled.
  • Serve with coconut whipped cream and animal crackers, enjoy 🙂

Notes

A word of warning, the bananas brown quickly, so serve this shortly after its prepared.  These photos were taken the day after, there is a little browning, but not too much 🙂  Store in an air-tight container to slow browning.
