2. Place dates in a blender along with the maple syrup and almond milk. Pulse until smooth.
3. Add the oats and a pinch of salt. Pulse again.
4. Line a 6-inch springform pan with parchment paper and press crust onto the bottom and sides.
5. Place crust in the freezer and clean out the blender.
6. Combine the bananas, coconut milk, peanut butter, vanilla, and salt in the blender until smooth.
7. Taste and add maple syrup if needed.
8. Pour half of the peanut butter mixture into the crust.
9. Add the cocoa powder to remaining mixture. Add a little more maple if needed.
10. Pour remaining mixture over existing peanut butter mix and swirl with a butter knife.
11. Freeze suntil semi-solid.
12. Melt a little peanut butter, drizzle it over the top of the pie, sprinkle with chunky salt, chocolate chips, and a small amount of cocoa powder.
13. Freeze again. For best results, allow to sit on the counter 15-20 minutes prior to serving. This will allow it to soften and make the texture much better.
