A Berry Banana Pie
My amazing acrobatic, dancer, artist friend, Megan, has joined me on the raw food journey and has been the main inspiration for this decadent dish. She was also a great help as we prepared our layers of cream, blueberries, and bananas. We created this as we went, having only her grandma's blueberry banana pie to replace with an organic raw version. This pie will definitely now be in the rotation of delicious raw desserts and introduced to granny of course!

Cream Filling- Layer 1
1 1/2 cups cashews soaked for at least 1 hour

A pinch of Himalayan pink salt
- First process the cashews alone.
- Add in a tiny bit of water at a time while scraping the sides of the blender. The slower you add the water the creamier and more whipped it will become.
- Next add the dates continue to add in water slowly
- Add the rest of the ingredients.
- Pour the mixture onto your crust and leave the cream remains on the blender walls because we are going to use it for our blueberry filling and plus you don't have to do double dishes.
