[lauren] *internal burp*
[lauren] hey guys! it's lauren from hot for food and today we're gonna do a Mother's Day recipe!
[lauren] i decided to go sweet.
[lauren] i don't know why, it just seems like the most logical thing to make on a Mother's Day.
[lauren] whether you're gonna have brunch or lunch or dinner, then you need an awesome dessert!
[lauren] so i was inspired by the internet, and i thought we could make a BANOFFEE PIE.
[lauren] which is basically a banana and toffee pie with whipped cream on top.
[lauren] it looks very delectable and delicious, i have never had one before!
[lauren] but i feel like they were all over the internet for a while, they got very trendy.
[lauren] and it's an English type of pie and it just looks delicious!
[lauren] toffee? who doesn't love toffe?
[lauren] so we're gonna make this, it's a good one.
[lauren] you can pre-make and chill in the fridge until it's dessert time.
[lauren] and i think your mum's really gonna love it, my mum's gonna love it!
[lauren] john's mum's gonna love it!
[lauren] and let's get started!
[lauren] alright, we're gonna make the crust in a food processor cos you need to get everything ground up pretty fine.
[lauren] and so we're gonna use gluten-free oats. guess what, everybody? the crust is gluten-free!
[lauren] you're gonna grind the oats into a flour.
[lauren] alright so once your oats are very finely ground like that, you can add the rest of the ingredients.
[lauren] now you're gonna add walnuts, brown sugar and sea salt and tthen process that.
[lauren] and while the machine is running, add cubes of cold vegan butter until the crust comes together and you can pinch it.
[lauren] you're gonna use a fluted pie pan with a removable bottom like this.
[lauren] and you're gonna dump the crust into it and start pressing it in into an even layer all around.
[lauren] so you're gonna freeze your crust before you bake it just so it's really cold.
[lauren] so it doesn't have to be totally frozen but it should feel hard and cold.
[lauren] and then poke a few holes in it. then we're gonna bake it at 350F for 20 minutes.
[lauren] the toffee filling is just made in a pot with 1 can of full fat coconut milk,
[lauren] brown sugar, tapioca flour and sea salt.
[lauren] and you're gonna heat this over a simmer.
[lauren] so once it gets thicker, this is where you wanna be whisking constantly so it doesn't stick or burn.
[lauren] while you're whisking, you'll notice then toffee starts sticking to the side of the pot.
[lauren] that's pretty much when it's thick enough and you can just remove it from the heat.
[lauren] so you're gonna thinly slice about 4 bananas,
[lauren] and toss them in a little bit of lemon juice just to keep them from going too brown.
[lauren] and actually, the lemon juice helps the flavour come through a bit more
[lauren] cos now you get a bit of acid mixed with the sweetness and it's not overpowering or anything.
[lauren] you're only adding about a teaspoon.
[lauren] so once your crust is baked, you're gonna let it cool and it will harden and turn into a crust.
[lauren] you're gonna remove it from the fluted pie pan,
[lauren] then we're gonna fill it with a layer of bananas
[lauren] and pour the toffee over top and you do need to let this chill overnight.
[lauren] so you need to plan in advance.
[lauren] so while the crust is cooling and before you pop it out of the pie pan,
[lauren] that's when you wanna make the toffee filling.
[lauren] mine was a little too set and goopy when i poured it into the pie
[lauren] but it still worked out, but don't make it in advance.
[lauren] just make it while the crust is cooling so that you can drizzle it over the bananas and it really oozes into the whole pie.
[lauren] so we have one already finished and ready to go.
[lauren] and we're gonna put whipped cream on the top!
[lauren] now, i'm just being honest with you. i've run into a little snafu,
[lauren] something is going on with the coconut milk i always buy.
[lauren] i always make from scratch coconut whip with the coconut cream.
[lauren] and it's not working! i've wasted now a bunch of coconut milk trying to get it to whip
[lauren] and it just curdles and gets weird and i don't know what's going on.
[lauren] so we have had to purchase a pre-made coconut whip which is also delicious.
[lauren] we're gonna dollap this on the top, we're gonna put some chocolate grated on top,
[lauren] and then our banoffee pie is ready!
[lauren] there it is, the VEGAN BANOFEE PIE!
[lauren] oh my god! it's so luscious, it's so- i don't even know what to say it is, it's so good!
[lauren] holy shit!
[lauren] you're gonna die
[lauren] i can't stop eating it!
[lauren] mm! you're gonna die, mom's gonna die, everyone that eats this is gonna die!
[lauren] i mean that in the best way possible!
[lauren] mm!
[lauren] these are all of my favourite things; coconut, chocolate, nuts, vegan butter, bananas.
[lauren] mm!
[lauren] alright, well i hope you enjoyed the vegan banoffee pie.
[lauren] make it this weekend for your mum, your mum's mum, your dad's mum, everyone's mum
