This could be our best tasting clean treat yet. We've called it. This raw vegan take on the classic Banoffee with a twist went down like hotcakes - except of course they weren't, they were better. Moth to a flame, when we walked out of the kitchen to offer them up to the rest of the team they were gone in minutes. 

If you've ever had a Banoffee Pie then you'll have come to appreciate this amazing banana-caramel combination. Its sweet, amazingly decadent but somehow manages not to overwhelm with too much richness. To pay homage to one of our favourite desserts ever, we knew we had to create a gluten free, vegan version that anyone could happily sink their teeth in. The tarts are made up of three components: the Sea Salt Caramel Coconut Chips infused base, the caramel-coffee-ish velvety filling, and the toppings (fresh banana slices, pecans, and a little shaving of dark chocolate). 

As we alluded to, this raw vegan Banoffee tart features the most smooth, luscious filling. Imagine a combination of dates, cashews, Sea Salt Caramel Coconut Chips, Shroom Brew Super Latte, almond milk and vanilla bean extract - it's an undeniably enticing mix. This recipe requires a little prep work so we've separated directions out in stages to make it easier to follow. We know you're going to absolutely love this clean treat!
