Sweet Temptation Without Compunction: Banana Pie "Jovaylo"

1,101

Cooking is an art. I love art – every type of art! Cooking is an opportunity to create something, while investing a piece of yourself in your culinary masterpiece.

Have you noticed how an omelet cooked by one person can be delicious, while cooked by another it doesn’t taste that good? The recipe is the same, but it turns out different! Food is so much more important than we realize it to be! It can definitely pass on the emotions and mindset of the person who prepared it.

From all the foods, what I love the most are eggs and seafood. In the same time I love preparing healthy desserts.

This week I prepared a healthy, banana pie. It turned out delicious! I really don’t know why people don’t make their own healthy desserts – it is quick, easy and delicious!

The healthiest food is homemade food.

Here is how you can prepare Banana Pie “Jovaylo”

Ingredients:

For the crust

6-7 dates, pitted

100 grams raw cashew ( soaked)

100 grams raw almonds ( soaked)

2 tablespoons shredded coconut

1 table spoon cocoa powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

vanilla

1 tablespoon water

For the chocolate cream:

1 ripe avocado

2 table spoons natural cocoa powder

1 teaspoon rum

1 teaspoon instant coffee + 1 tablespoon water

1 tablespoon melted coconut butter

1 tablespoon honey ( add it if you want the pie to be sweeter. I often skip the honey, because the natural sweetness of the dates and bananas is enough).

For the banana cream:

250 grams strained yogurt

1 banana

vanilla

Ето как декорирах моя пай :) — Here is how I decorated the pie 🙂

Directions:

For the crust:

Soak the nuts and the dates for a couple hours. Then blend them and add the rest of the ingredients for the crust. Blend until you receive the texture of dough. If it turns out too dry, add some water or coconut milk.

Spread on the bottom of your pan or bowl ( you might make separate dishes, instead of one whole pie).

For the chocolate cream:

Puree the avocado. Add cocoa powder and puree again. Add coconut butter, rum and coffee. Blend and if you want the pie to be sweeter, add honey.

Personally, I leave the chocolate cream without honey, so it can have a more intense, chocolate flavor, which goes great with the natural sweetness of dates and banana.

Spread the cream on top of the crust.

For the banana cream:

Puree the banana. Add the strained yogurt and vanilla. In order for your cream to stabilize, add gelatin.

Cover the chocolate cream with the banana cream and live in the fridge.

I decorated mine with cocoa powder.

It turned out to be a Love Pie 🙂
