Chocolate Banana Cream Pie (Vegan & Gluten-Free!)

WOW! This was some good pie!!  It's so good you should try it even if you can eat gluten & dairy!

 I'm kind of embarrassed to admit this, but my bf and I shared pretty much the whole things last night.  I could not stop eating it! (.......and then I pushed my belly through some yoga to make up for it:)


This was really light, creamy and satisfying .... & it was pretty fast and easy to make.  You only have to bake the crust and let it sit.  Try it out!

Chocolate Banana Cream Pie (Vegan & Gluten-Free)
I got the recipe idea for the crust from Enjoy Life Foods, Chocolate Pie Crust Recipe: http://www.enjoylifefoods.com/enjoying_life/recipes_ind.php?id=93
1.  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  Grease a pie pan.
2.  In a blender or food processor, combine: 1 box of 'Enjoy Life' soft baked cookies - I used chocolate chip (Experiment!), 1/4 cup  brown rice flour, 2 Tbsp. cocoa powder, and 2 Tbsp. tapioca flour.  Pulse until it is all combined well.

3. Cut up 1/4 cup and 1 Tbsp. of butter substitute.  Add it to the mixer or food processor & pulse again until it is all well incorporated.  (Don't over-mix:)

4.  Now press this into your pie dish to make a nice crust.  Bake for about 9-10 minutes.

5.  While the crust is baking, you can make your pudding.  Cook a large package of vanilla pudding according to directions & let it sit.

6.  Take the crust out when done & let it cool for a minute.  Now slice up 2 bananas and line the bottom crust w/ bananas.

Pour the pudding over this, and top with the rest of the bananas.  Put into the fridge to cool and gel into place for about and hour.  ENjoy!!
