A few months back now, I visited the beautiful Island of Osea with Next where I took part in preparing Lunch for everyone with Spook, a talented bespoke cooking company. Mine and Sarah’s job was to take care of pudding, I mean it was a tough job but somebody had to do it.
But the pudding was so good that ever since I returned it has been in my mind ever since. I never knew healthy could taste so good, like seriously, when it tastes this good you really do wonder why anyone would choose an unhealthy option. So I frantically sent an e-mail to the Next team to get my hand on the recipe from the wonderful ladies at Spook and knock a dish of their Raw Banoffee pie up for myself. It was such a success that I simply had to share this with you.
70g Pecans
20g Desiccated Coconut
100g Fresh Medjool Dates
1 tbsp. Almond Butter
1 tbsp. Coconut Oil
75g Raw Cashew Nuts (soaked in water for 4 hours)
1 Ripe Banana 40ml Coconut Milk
1 tbsp. of Coconut Oil
3 Medjool Dates
100g Medjool Dates
4 tbsp. Almond Butter
2 tbsp. Honey
1 tsp. of Vanilla Bean Powder
1 pinch of salt
2 tbsp. of Coconut Milk
To make the crust, place ingredients from section 1 into the mini food processor, blend together then divide into three glasses.
Next make the filling – Place ingredients from section 2 into the mini food processor, blend until creamy then divide into three and
spread onto of the crust.
Finally make the caramel – Place ingredients from section 3 into the mini food processor, blend until smooth, then divide into three and drizzle the caramel on top of the filling to create a stack.
Place them into the freezer for 20 minutes then into the fridge until you need to serve.
If you plan on knocking up your own Raw Banoffee Pie please do let me know your thoughts below, I’m honestly dribbling just thinking about it.

The Autumn Equinox has arrived and as the nights draw in there’s so many opportunities to reconnect with nature.
Hosting a very special breakfast for my girls in honour of @princestrust and @thebrilliantbreakfast to raise money to help young women turn their lives around through work, education and training. A donation of £5 can enable a woman to simply travel to an interview which could go on to change her life forever so I would absolutely love it if you would join me in hosting your own Brilliant Breakfast between the 9th and 15th October, whether it’s simply coffee with a close friend, or encouraging your entire office to get involved, the funds raised will go towards helping young women, aged 11-30 create better futures for themselves.
And thank you to my angel @hello.petal.flowers for giving her time and creative flare to bring my vision for the breakfast to life, of course you don’t have to go with florals like me, but if that’s something you enjoy this is the perfect opportunity to throw a lovely breakfast with your girlfriends with a cause that will help so many other women, front and centre!
