Banana Coconut No-Cream Pie

Submitted by analog kid

"A healthier, yet still delicious, variation to the fat and sugar loaded typical pie. This pie freezes well, and the longer it's left in the fridge before eating, the softer and better the crust tastes. I used extra coconut and banana chips to decorate the pie. I think the package of tofu was around 13 oz...I used the lite version. Cooking time is refrigeration time."
