    Banoffee Pie is one of those rare treats. It can be hard to find to purchase. It's rich and dreamy. Maybe some of your are asking, but what is banoffee? Banana and coffee? What?! Though I have on occasion come across banoffee with coffee in the whip cream- the flavors are banana and toffee. Specifically dulce de leche. I absolutely love banana and toffee (dulce de leche) together. Dulce de leche? It's fine. Bananas? They're fine. Whipped cream? Also fine. But put them all together and I. can't. stop. eating. How do you take such ordinary not exciting flavors and put them together and achieve heavenly status?! Sometimes I just can't.

    While this is extremely easy to make and the active time making it is less than 10 minutes- part of it does take awhile, so make sure to set aside some time for the dulce de leche to be made. It's 99% passive but does take 3 hours. It then needs another 3 hours to set up. Otherwise, this doesn't take hardly any active time to make, and is soooo easy to put together!

    How to Make Banoffee Pie

    First we'll start by making dulce de leche. Get a can of regular (not fat free!) sweetened condensed milk, and put it in a large pot of boiling water. Allow to boil for 3 hours. Check on it every 20 minutes and add water to keep the can covered. If the can isn't covered, it won't cook all the way. But even worse, it could explode. Keep the can covered in water! After it's boiled for 3 hours, allow the can to cool until it's cool enough to open 10- 20 minutes. Sometime while it's boiling make the graham cracker crust. Crush the graham crackers and place in pie plate. Melt the butter and pour the butter over the top and mix together. Push the crust against the bottom and edges of the pie plate. Bake in a preheated oven for 4 minutes to set the crust. This part is optional, but helps the crust stay in place while spreading the dulce de leche. Allow the crust to cool for 15-20 minutes. Open the can and place dulce de leche on the graham cracker crust. Spread it out evenly then refrigerate for 3 hours.

    After it's cooled, cut the bananas into rounds. Place the banana rounds on top of the dulce de leche. Next, make the whipped topping. Using the wire attachment, whip the heavy whipping cream in a large bowl just until it starts to thicken a bit. Add the powdered sugar. You can add more if you like it sweeter, but the pie is pretty sweet already from the dulce de leche. Mix on high until peaks begin to form, another minute or two. Spoon over top of the bananas and spread it around evenly. Top with any garnishes desired: toffee bits, more bananas, chocolate shavings, cocoa powder.

    Enjoy!

    Tips & Tricks

    Don't let the dulce de leche cool too long! It's much easier to work with while it's warm.

    Description

    Banana and dulce de leche come together to form one of the world's favorite flavors: banoffee! This banoffee pie is full of wonderful textures and flavors and will be a hit at any gathering.

     


    Ingredients

    Scale

    For the crust:

    • 11 sheets graham cracker, crushed
    • ¼ cup salted butter, melted

    For the dulce de leche:

    • 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk

    For the whipped topping:

    • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
    • 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla

    Additonal:

    • 3 bananas, sliced

    Optional for garnish:

    • toffee bits
    • cocoa powder or chocolate shavings/ crumbles

     


    Instructions

    1. Make the Dulce De Leche: Put a (regular) 14 oz. can of sweetened milk in a large pot and cover with water. Then fill it some more. You want it to be pretty deep in the water.
    2. Boil the water for 3 hours, checking the water every 20-30 minutes and adding more whenever the water starts to get low.  The can could explode if it isn't covered in water. I like to microwave the water before adding it, so that the water doesn't cool too much.
    3. While it's boiling make the graham cracker crust. Preheat oven to 350*F.
    4. Crush the graham crackers and place in pie plate. Melt the butter and pour the butter over the top and mix together. Push the crust against the bottom and edges of the pie plate.
    5. Bake in a preheated oven for 4 minutes to set the crust. This part is optional, but helps the crust stay in place while spreading the dulce de leche. Allow the crust to cool for 15-20 minutes.
    6. Open the can and place dulce de leche on the graham cracker crust. Spread it out evenly then refrigerate for 3 hours.
    7. After it's cooled, cut the bananas into rounds. Place the banana rounds on top of the dulce de leche. Gently press bananas slightly down into the dulce de leche.
    8. Next, make the whipped topping. Using the wire attachment on an electric mixer, whip the heavy whipping cream and vanilla in a large bowl just until it starts to thicken a bit. Add the powdered sugar. You can add more if you like it sweeter, but the pie is pretty sweet already from the dulce de leche. Mix on high until peaks begin to form, another minute or two.
    9. Spoon over top of the bananas and spread it around evenly.
    10. Top with any garnishes desired: toffee bits, more bananas, chocolate shavings, cocoa powder.
    11. Serve immediately and Enjoy!

    Notes

    Don't allow the dulce de leche to cool too much before spreading on the crust. It's much easier to work with while it's warm.

    Keep as cold as possible before serving, refrigerate any leftovers immediately.

    Eat within 24 hours of making.

        I have not personally tried freezing it, but all of the ingredients can be frozen without a negative effect! I'd recommend only thawing it for about an hour at most before serving. If it thaws too much it will probably weep.
