2/3 cup virgin coconut oil, melted
1/3 cup sugar
Filling:
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
2 cans (13.66 oz each) coconut milk (not cream of coconut)
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 firm medium bananas, cut into 1/4-inch slices (about 2 1/2 cups)
Topping:
1 container (9 oz) frozen coconut whipped topping, thawed
1/2 cup flaked coconut, toasted
Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray. In medium bowl, mix Crust ingredients with fork until well blended. Press evenly in bottom and up sides of pan. Bake 10 to 14 minutes or until set. Cool 10 minutes. In 2-quart saucepan, mix 1/2 cup sugar and the cornstarch with whisk. Gradually stir in coconut milk. Cook over medium heat 7 to 12 minutes, stirring constantly with wooden spoon, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and continue to stir constantly 1 minute longer. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Place banana slices in single layer over baked crust. Pour warm filling over bananas; spread evenly to cover banana slices. Cool at room temperature 15 minutes, then cover filling with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours until set. When ready to serve, remove plastic wrap from filling. Spread coconut whipped topping evenly over top of chilled filling. Sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.
