Directions

Graham Cracker Crust: Preheat the oven to 350 levels. Combine crust elements and press right into a 9-inch pie plate. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.
Toffee Filling: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, soften butter and brown sugar over low to medium warmth. Set a timer for five minutes; warmth gently whereas stirring constantly. That is to frivolously caramelize and develop the flavour. Don’t carry to a rolling boil, however a really gentle effervescent with fixed stirring is okay!
End Filling: Add sweetened condensed milk; stir to include. Set a timer for five minutes once more; carry it as much as a delicate boil for 3-4 minutes and whisk or stir constantly. The colour will begin darken right into a medium brown and the consistency will thicken barely.
Relaxation Time: Pour the toffee into the cooled crust – it ought to be thickened, however nonetheless clean and pourable. Let it relaxation on the counter for 1-2 hours till the toffee is cooled and dry to the contact. (If it looks like it could be too unfastened or runny, you’ll be able to pop it within the fridge for a couple of hours till it’s set.)
Whipped Cream: Utilizing an electrical mixer, whip the heavy cream with the sugar and vanilla till medium peaks type.
End: When the highest is about, prepare sliced bananas on high in a single layer. Add whipped cream and end with chocolate shavings.
Serving: You possibly can serve this at room temperature, or chilled. (If it’s within the fridge, give it 15-Half-hour of relaxation on the counter earlier than serving for greatest texture.) I like to recommend serving this the day of, as in a single day it begins to get moist and messy, and the bananas start browning.

Notes

Leftovers: I LOVE this pie chilly – really LOVE IT. However it additionally will get a bit wetter and messier within the fridge in a single day (the bananas and whipped cream launch some liquid, and the bananas will begin to brown a bit). For that motive I sometimes make it and serve it on the identical day, after which simply take pleasure in any leftovers myself the following day.

Relying on what pan and what stovetop I’m engaged on, I’ve had a couple of batches of this pie the place I’ve gotten little browned bits in my caramel from the flecks of butter and brown sugar caramelizing. If this occurs to you, don’t panic! It’s completely fantastic and completely scrumptious.
