Ingredients
  

  • 4 tbsp pure creamed coconut divided
  • 1 can 14 oz/398 mL coconut milk
  • 6 pitted dates
  • 1 ⁄2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 ⁄2 tsp salt
  • 1 ⁄4 cup aquafaba
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 ⁄8 tsp whole vanilla seeds
  • 1 ⁄8 tsp cream of tartar
  • 5 vegan graham crackers crumbled
  • 1 large banana peeled and cut into 1⁄2-inch (1 cm) slices

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, combine 2 tbsp (30 mL) creamed coconut, coconut milk, dates, brown sugar and salt. Simmer over low-medium heat, stirring often, until thickened, and the dates are soft, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • Transfer coconut milk mixture to blender and blend on High until smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes. Return to saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until it becomes a thick, almost pudding-like consistency, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • In mixer bowl, combine aquafaba, granulated sugar, vanilla seeds and cream of tartar. Attach wire whisk and mixer bowl to mixer. Set speed to Low and beat for 2 minutes, then set speed to Medium and beat for an additional 2 minutes. Set to highest speed and beat mixture until stiff peaks form, about an additional 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Using a spatula, carefully fold the remaining 2 tbsp pure creamed coconut into whipped aquafaba meringue.
  • Assembly: In the bottom of one mason jar, create a layer of crushed graham cracker. (You want them to create a kind of crust on the bottom of the jar). Next, spoon over a layer of coconut milk mixture. Next, add a layer of sliced bananas. Finally, add a layer of whipped aquafaba. Repeat another layer of coconut mixture, banana and whipped aquafaba. Garnish with a few sliced bananas, a dollop of whipped aquafaba and a sprinkle of graham cracker. Repeat with the remaining mason jars and ingredients. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour. Serve.
