Banoffee "Danger" Pie

If you have never heard of this pie before, do not be alarmed... Just saddened that it has taken you so long to discover it. 


So just make it, you will not be disappointed!

First things first, the day before you want to make this pie, you need to make the toffee layer. It is not difficult but takes some time and a little patience. 


Step 1:
Remove the label on the condensed milk and submerge the unopened can in pot of water. 
Cover and boil for 2.5 hours. Remove pan from heat and let cool before removing the cans (may take up to 4 hours). This toffee sauce will now keep, unopened, as long as regular sweetened condensed milk will. I made 2 cans just incase I want some on ice cream this week ;)


 Warning: Be sure to keep the can covered by water at all times!! If it is not covered by water the can may explode. 


Now you are ready for the real pie making!

• 3 bananas
• 1 tin of sweetened condensed milk
• 2 cups whipping cream
• 1/3 cup powdered sugar
• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1 stick of butter
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 small bar of chocolate 

Step 2:To make the crust (*You can skip this step entirely by buying a ready made graham cracker crust.)

• Grind up Graham Crackers in food processor.
• Melt stick of butter in microwave and pour most of it into crumb mixture (you may not need all of it and since it's easier to add than to remove, start with less).
• Blend until you have a moist sand mixture.
• Smooth wet crumbs into pie plate to make a crust.
• Bake at 350*F for 10 minutes.
• Set aside to cool.

Step 3:
To make whipped cream (*You can skip this step entirely by using cool whip. )

• Whip cold cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla on high until whipped
• Set aside

Step 4:

Now its time to bring it all together. Cut up bananas into slices and lay into your crust. It doesn't matter how you arrange them really. Just go wild.

Open toffee can, mix with knife until smooth, pour on bananas.



Spread whipped cream over the whole mess


Grate chocolate on top (optional)
Put in fridge to set for at least 1 hour



I hope that you enjoy this pie as much as my friends did at todays BBQ and pie bake-off!
