It was originally developed in England and migrated around the world. The most time consuming part of the recipe is boiling the condensed milk. Believe me, it’s well worth the wait. Give it a try and let us know what you think.
There are a few tips to making this delicious banoffee pie. First, you can use any brand of condensed milk. It’s important to remove the label and allow it to simmer in water for at least three hours to achieve the desired texture. It’s likewise essential to make sure the water is at least an inch over the top of the can; otherwise, it could explode. I check it about every half an hour to ensure the water level doesn’t drop too much. Once it’s boiled, let it cool completely. You could get away with using the canned caramel sauce, but I find it makes the pie too watery. In this recipe, we use store bought Graham crust. If you want to make the Graham crust from scratch, we have a great recipe. Simple click on the highlighted link. I like to use fairly ripe bananas, but you can use the bananas of your choice. Lastly, make sure you use whipping cream with at least 30 percent fat to make sure it whips up well.
