BANANA CREAM PIE

First let’s prepare the crumb crust .
Preheat your oven to 180deg C
Process together cup of toasted oatmeal  with 4 tbs of apple juice .
Let this stand for 10 minutes.
Then press crumbs into a 23cm flan dish , beginning at the sides ( keep your fingers wet )
Cover  the base of the dish with remaining crumbs  ( use wet knuckles or fingers )
Bake at 180deg C for 10minutes .
Cool before filling ....

BANANA PIE FILLING
Place 1 cup of ricotta cheese in a food processor along with 2 bananas (each weighing about 125 gm )
1/4 cup of  coconut juice
1 tsp of vanilla extract
2. Egg whites
And blend till smooth .
Pour into cooled crumb crust shell and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes .
Cool to serve .
The only sugar in this recipe is in the coconut and apple juice ......
I took this recipe to another level and topped the cooled pies with a hazelnut chocolate spread , then sprinkled with chocolate chips and or shredded coconut ..
The banana cream pie has now become a chocolate and banana cream pie .
