Prepare the crust by adding raw almonds, pitted medjool dates, and shredded unsweetened coconut to a food processor. Blend until the mixture holds together when pressed between your fingers.
Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan, ensuring it is compact and smooth. Set aside.
For the filling, drain and rinse the raw cashews, which have been soaked in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
In a blender or high-speed food processor, combine the soaked cashews, 2 ripe bananas, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Open the chilled can of coconut milk and scoop out the solidified cream layer, discarding the liquid or saving it for another recipe.
Fold the coconut cream into the blended filling mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
Pour the banana-coconut filling into the prepared crust and smooth out the surface with a spatula.
Place the pie in the refrigerator to set for at least 4-6 hours, or until firm.
Before serving, top the pie with thinly sliced bananas and a sprinkle of shredded coconut as garnish.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your raw vegan Coconut Banana Cream Pie!
