Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker or digestive biscuit crumbs
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 3–4 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Grated chocolate or cocoa powder (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the biscuit crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the base and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
- To make the caramel, place the unopened can of sweetened condensed milk in a pot of simmering water. Simmer for 2–2.5 hours, making sure the can is always covered with water. Let cool completely before opening.
- Open the can and spread the caramel over the chilled crust.
- Layer the sliced bananas evenly over the caramel.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream over the bananas.
- Top with grated chocolate or a dusting of cocoa powder if desired.
- Chill the pie for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- You can use store-bought dulce de leche as a shortcut instead of boiling the condensed milk.
- For a firmer crust, bake it at 350°F (175°C) for 8 minutes and let it cool before filling.
- Best served the same day it’s assembled to keep the bananas fresh.
