So I made this today, but read the reviews first so I did a few things different then the recipe.
#1. I cooked the crust and then put it into the fridge until the toffee was ready
#2 upped the oven temp to 425 for toffee and it took, i guess, about 2 or 2.5 hours. Not really sure, i just took it out once it looked the right color.
#3 When I took the toffee out and mixed a bit it was lumpy to I mixed it with an immersion blender until it was smooth again. Then I just poured the toffee into the crust right out of the oven and then put it back into the fridge until it was cooled down.
It really is a recipe that you should attempt on a day when you can devote sometime to going back and forth into the kitchen because no matter what Paula says this thing takes all and all about 4ish hours to have ready to eat.
The guys in my house loved it.

absolutely loved this pie, it is super sweet so a little goes a long way. I did cook the sweeted condensed milk in the can on the stove but next time I will try it the Paula Dean way. Everyone at the party loved it and wanted the recipe.

Turned out wonderful! I was worried how the toffee would turn out after all the reviews but it turned out great. I baked it in the oven at 350 for 2 1/2 hours and it was perfect. We ate it as soon as I got done constructing it and the pie stood up just fine in the pan, but did become loose when I served it but I think that is pretty common with any cream pie in a graham cracker crust (mine was store bought. Tried another piece later and it tasted even better after being in the fridge a few hours. I am definetely going to take this to my next family event.
Thanks Paula

This pie was delicious and decadent. I made my toffee in the crockpot overnight..the drawback is there are now rust stains from the cans in my crock that I cannot get out. Otherwise it worked-out well. I used a store-bought graham cracker crust.

Another way to make the toffee. Remove paper labels from sweetened condensed milk cans (Leave cans sealed during cooking process. Place cans in a crockpot. Cover with water and replace crockpot lid. Turn temp. to low and leave over night. The result will be the same as the other methods, but you will be able to set it and forget it. Also, you can leave the cans sealed until you are ready to use.

Over the top sweet! Don't put sugar in the whipped cream. This pie doesn't keep turns liquid. Make for a party where you serve all of it. Made twice, one time at altitude. At 3,000 ft it took the sweet and condensed milk almost an hour extra. At sea level it was exact.

I made this for my dessert party and everyone loved. I was amazed at how good it was. I read plenty of the reviews and ended up boiling the cans on the stove for 3.5 hours. I watched the pot and made sure that the water did not get low and the water was maintained to stay above the cans. I used 5 tsp of butter for the crust but probably should've used 7-8 tsp. The crust was still good overall! When making the whip cream make sure to use 1 pkg of sugar substitute, I used equal. I also squeezed fresh lemon over the bananas to cut some of sweetness. Happy cooking everyone!
