Time 6h30m

Yield 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 ready-made graham cracker pie crust (or make your own crust for a pie about 25cm across)
1 (400 ml) can sweetened condensed milk
3 bananas
300 ml cream
hot chocolate powder or cocoa, for dusting

Steps:

  • Place the UNopened can of condensed milk (don't open the can!) in a saucepan and cover with water.
  • Bring the water to the boil then reduce slightly and let the can boil covered for 2 1/2 or 3 hours (if you're patient enough to wait for 3 hours it is better).
  • IMPORTANT- Don't ever let the saucepan boil dry.
  • Keep checking up on it and adding water if necessary.
  • Remove the can and wait a few minutes before opening it very carefully in the sink.
  • The condensed milk will look like creamy brown caramel.
  • Stir the caramel in the can with a fork to remove any lumps, then pour into your pie crust and let it cool, then refrigerate till cold.
  • Slice bananas thinly and lay them on top of the toffee filling.
  • Whip the cream and spread it over the bananas.
  • I usually just cover the bananas, but if you like more cream, spread it as thickly as you want.
  • Dust the cocoa or powdered drinking chocolate on top for effect, using a sieve.
  • Serve in thin slices with coffee.
  • Enjoy!

BANOFFEE PIE



Banoffee Pie image

With generous layers of dulce de leche, bananas and whipped cream, this dazzling pie is not for the faint of heart. The banoffee or banoffi pie, a mash-up of banana and toffee, was created in 1971 by the chef Ian Dowding and Nigel MacKenzie, the owner of the Hungry Monk, a now-closed restaurant in Sussex, England. The original recipe called for a traditional pie crust, homemade dulce de leche and coffee-flavored whipped cream, but we've simplified it for the home cook by using a graham cracker crust, store-bought dulce de leche and plain whipped cream. If you like, you could add a teaspoon of instant coffee granules to the whipped cream.

Time 30m

Yield One 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups/155 grams graham cracker crumbs (about 10 whole graham crackers)
5 tablespoons/70 grams unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup/65 grams granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 1/2 cups/600 milliliters store-bought dulce de leche (about 20 ounces)
3 large bananas, peeled and sliced about 1/4-inch thick
1 1/2 cups/360 milliliters cold heavy cream
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon instant coffee granules (optional)
Chocolate shavings or fresh coffee grounds, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Make the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar and salt. Stir until fully incorporated and sandy. (When you pinch a bit of it between your fingers, it should hold together.) Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Using your fingers or a flat-bottomed cup, press the mixture into the pie plate and up the sides. Make sure it is well packed. Bake until set, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 2 days.
  • Spoon the dulce de leche into the pie crust and spread into an even layer. Pile in banana slices into a relatively even layer (they should overlap). Transfer the pie to the refrigerator while you make the whipped cream.
  • Make the whipped cream: Using a handheld mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract and instant coffee, if using, on medium-high speed until firm peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Spread the whipped cream on top of the bananas, making sure to spread the whipped cream to the edge, totally covering the bananas (this will help prevent them from browning). Chill the pie, uncovered, for 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • To serve, sprinkle the pie with chocolate shavings or fresh coffee grounds, if desired. Store leftover pie in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 5 days. The whipped cream may lose some height, but the pie will be no less delicious.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your pie will be.
  • Don't overmix the crust. Overmixing will make the crust tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Press the crust firmly into the pie plate. This will help to prevent the crust from shrinking during baking.
  • Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes before adding the filling. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Use a high-quality caramel sauce. The caramel sauce is a key component of this pie, so make sure you use a good one.
  • Don't overwhip the cream. Overwhipping will make the cream grainy.
  • Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set.

Conclusion:

Paula Deen's Banoffee Pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
