I BOUGHT A CAN OF ALREADY MADE DULCE DE LECHE AND SPREAD IT OVER THE CRUST AND THE PIE CAME OUT GREAT. THE TOFFEE DIDN'T GET HARD LIKE A ROCK . WHEN I COOKED THE CONDENSED MILK IT GOT REALLY HARD TO CUT THE PIE.

Dear Suzy is correct. Any Brit-geared banoffee pie recipe I have come across calls for boiling the can of condensed milk in water, just as she suggested. Simmering water over a frightening boil, with the can submerged in said water, for 2 to 2.5 hours (submerged, or else your ceiling will be wearing the toffee. Your patience will be rewarded!

I was reading the comments on how the sweetened condensed milk hardens over the heat. I was thinking of a water bath so it's heated by the water around the pan instead of heat directly under it. I'll try it and i'll post a review.

Made this for Father's Day Celebration. I was quite disappointed with the resulting hard pie. We finally started warming it up in the microwave and then adding the toppings so that we could eat it. I don't plan to make this again, but anyone out there who makes it, make the dulce de leche like the first reviewer recommends and eat it just after it is made so the caramel doesn't harden.

Dearest all,

How do you do?

Danny Boome is such a cutie pie isn't he. Anyway, a simple technique to ensure a softer Dulce de Leche: just boil the condensed milk in it's can on a moderate heat for two hours - and by moderate I mean slightly simmering, not a boiling witch's brew!

I haven't yet made this recipe so my rating only reflects my belief to always see the yummy goodness-ness potential in recipes. However, I will get back to give a more honest rating when I do make it. Hahaha...

Peace out and I do hope my tip helps.

This pie was so tasty. It really came as a surprise considering how few ingredients it uses. So needless to say I was pleasantly surprised. My only issue was that the toffee making process was time consuming and it ended up turning rock hard once in the pie adn it was very difficult to spread over the grahm cracker crust. A knife was absolutely necessary to eat the pie. It was very difficult to eat but it tasted great. I agree that it was yummier the day after but the toffee was also harder after being refrigerated.

There has got to be a secret we aren't in on about this method for making the toffee. The toffee/dulce de leche was so thick it made a the pie hard to take apart with a fork. The assistance of a knife was almost necessary. If anyone has a tip on how to thin or fluff the sweetened condensed milk up, I am sure this pie might be doable. Maybe the pie is only edible right after it is made with no refrigeration???

Oh well, two stars for flavor, at least.

I made this pie for Thanksgiving and it was gone in less than 5 minutes! Everyone wanted a piece, it was super easy to make and tasted fantastic. The dulce du leche on the bottom was out of this world too, and so easy to make. You do have to babysit that part when you are making it, but the outcome is worth it. I am going to make this again for Christmas, as it was requested by more than one person, and probably make some extra dulce to drizzle over the top. The kids especially loved this one, and i love it because its got fresh ingredients and isn't loaded with sugar and butter.

This was easy to make, especially since I used store-bought graham cracker crust and used cool whip instead of making own topping from heavy cream. Once condensed milk mixture hardened, eating pie was difficult. Delicious but it was really like eating caramel candy. Unfortunately, I wouldn't make this again.
