Banana Split Sundae Pie – Healthy Alternative

Banana split without the guilt, yes please!!

All skeptics raise your hand! How can you have a banana split without the ice cream, somehow this pie allows you to do just that!

The pecan crust with the addition of the vitamin rich date gives you just the right amount of crunch as the base for the cool and creamy banana filling. The agave gives the banana filling a little extra sweetness and the opportunity to add a little more to satisfy your sweet tooth. The vanilla accent in both the crust and the filling helps complete the illusion of ice cream.

With the simple addition of some fresh strawberries, a dollop of whip cream and some dark chocolate drizzle, you have the perfect banana split sundae!

Tip: Allergic to nuts, try using graham crackers for the crust instead. With the use of the crackers trying melting a tbsp of butter to help bond the ingredients together and help them adhere to your pie plate.
