Clean Treats has outdone herself with this beauty!
If you enjoy a sweet creamy pie for dessert but can’t take the calories or the epic amounts of dairy, this one’s for you.
The base is packed with crunchy pecans, chocolate WPI and Medjool dates and the filling is creamy and coconutty thanks to coconut cream and banana WPI. It's truly delicious.
This recipe makes a mini cake but you can make it bigger by doubling the recipe.
