Ingredients

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
10 tablespoons butter, softened
2 (14-ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
3 large bananas
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix graham cracker crumbs with softened butter and press mixture into 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes.

Lower the oven to 300 degrees F for the toffee filling.

To create toffee filling, caramelize the sweetened condensed milk. Pour the condensed milk into a 9 by 12 by 2-inch glass baking dish. Cover with foil and place dish inside a larger poaching pan. Add water to poaching pan until half way up sides of baking dish. Bake for 1 1/2 hours.

Once both the crust and toffee filling are cooled, spread half of the filling evenly inside crust. Slice the bananas and layer on top of filling. Pour remaining half of filling over bananas, spreading evenly. Whip the cream with the confectioners' sugar and vanilla and spread on top of toffee filling and bananas.

Banoffee Pie
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I followed the recipe exactly and let the sweetened condensed milk cool for a long time while preparing other food. When I... spread it into the graham cracker crust, it was a good, thick consistency. I let the pie chill in the refrigerator overnight and when I cut it, it was a disaster -- a terrible soupy mess -- couldn't even get a piece out of the pan without it running. I also felt that there was too much butter added to the crust. I watched Paula make this and it turned out great for her. I read where others thought it was the baking time for the sweetened condensed milk and guess I have to agree with them. Was glad that I had another dessert prepared for my guests.Read more

Easy to me.
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I just made this pie. I didn't use the oven method. I took 2 (14oz.) cans of unopened sweetened condensed milk in a large pot... of boiling water, covered with a lid on medium heat for 2 hours and 45 minutes exactly. I noticed that it will keep boiling only on medium heat if you keep the pot lid on. I put the water level just under the rim of the cans and occasionally added hot water to keep it at that level. When I decided I was through waiting (2/45), I poured out the water and took the cans with a potholder and opened them with my electric can opener. It bubbled out just a little, but not enough to make a mess. It was like pudding with a little gelatin jiggle. I smoothed the first can on the bottom of the pie crust (store bought). then layered three sliced bananas then smoothed over the second can. I put it in the refrigerator...and after only 15-30 minutes, its starts to become firm enough to slice a piece out. I don't know what everybody else is doing wrong. It seemed kinda simple to me and I'm no professional.Read more

Something is very wrong
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

My wife is an excellent cook, and she followed this recipe exactly. There is no way anyone ate this and liked it. If you ate... it right away, it was a nasty, wet mess, but after it sits it becomes a hard, cracked ugly mess. They really need to check the recipes on this site better as we have encountered many mistakes. They definitely need someone to error check the recipes before posting them. Study these recipes real well before using them people. It will save you a lot of money and frustration. Read more

Boil the milk
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I too have made this pie for years. Came from a local Tea Room. I boil the milk and it takes 2-2 1/2 hours but must be... covered with water at all times. I also brush the crust with pecans (almost dust) and it gives it a great flavor. Read more
