After visiting England, I prepared a banana-toffee pie that was wonderfully exquisite. With layers of banana, gooey caramel, and whipped cream over a graham cracker crust, this dish is rather popular in Britain. Because it’s so sweet, a little bit goes a long way! The condensed milk is merely caramelizing on the stove, which may seem to take a long time during cooking. If desired, add chocolate curls on the top.

Ingredients
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, or more to taste
- 1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust
- 3 bananas, sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
Instructions
- Place unopened can of condensed milk in a large pot; cover with water. Bring to boil; reduce to a simmer. Cover pot with lid and simmer for 3 hours to make the toffee, checking periodically to ensure the can is still immersed and adding more water as needed.
- Remove can from the pot and allow to cool until safe to handle. Rinse with cold running water for 10 minutes to speed up cooling.
- Open carefully and stir toffee until smooth. Spread toffee over the bottom of the prepared graham pie crust. Chill for at least 1 hour.
- Layer sliced bananas on top of the toffee. Beat cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Add sugar and continue to beat until fluffy. Spread whipped cream over bananas.
- Use 1 to 2 cans of condensed milk, depending on preferred thickness of toffee layer.

Reviews
This pie is just decadent! I’ve never done the boiling sweetened condensed milk before and was excited to give it a try. What an amazingly hands off method to yield sinfully rich, gooey caramel / toffee!! This is a wonderful treat to make and share – a little goes a long way!
