Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups digestive biscuit or graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk (for caramel)
- 3–4 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix biscuit crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill for 15-20 minutes.
- To make the caramel, remove the label from the can of condensed milk. Place the unopened can in a saucepan and cover with water. Simmer for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, ensuring the can is always fully submerged. Carefully remove and let cool completely before opening.
- Once cooled, open the can and spread the caramel over the chilled crust.
- Arrange sliced bananas over the caramel layer.
- In a mixing bowl, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the bananas.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder if desired.
- Chill for at least 1 hour before serving. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Use store-bought dulce de leche as a shortcut for the caramel layer.
- Chill the pie thoroughly for clean slices and firm layers.
- Best served the same day, but can be refrigerated up to 2 days.
