1. Lightly grease a 20cm/8” loose bottomed flan ring with coconut oil.
2. Make the base: Whizz the dates, pecans, hazelnuts, cacao powder and coconut oil in a food processor, using the pulse button, until roughly chopped. Add the hazelnuts, cacao and coconut oil and pulse till combined.
3. Using a teaspoon, spread the mixture across the base and up the sides of the flan ring. Chill.
4. Make the filling: whizz the bananas, Medjool dates and lemon juice together in a food processor till smooth. Spread into the base.
5. For the topping: Pile the sliced bananas on top of the pie.
Spoon the thick coconut cream out of the tin, with a little of the remaining coconut milk. Add the vanilla. Use an electric hand whisk to whip the cream until it holds peaks. Spread over the filling and dust with cacao and sprinkle a few cacao nibs on top. Chill well before serving
Chef's Tips
My favourite and most versatile brand of coconut milk is Waitrose home brand. Buy some extra tins and always keep a couple in the fridge for making whipped coconut cream
