Banoffee Pie
The word banoffee is a combination of "banana" and "toffee." This fun-to-eat banoffee treat goes even further by adding a sweet and crunchy crust made with toasted pecans and graham cracker crumbs. Enjoy!
Servings: 12
Ingredients:
Crust
* 1 cup graham cracker cookie crumbs
* 1/2 cup pecans, toasted, finely chopped
* 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
* 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
Filling
* 2 (13.4-ounce) cans dulce de leche (caramelized sweetened condensed milk)
* 4 large bananas
* 1 cup heavy cream
* 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
* 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a bowl, mix the crumbs, pecans, butter and brown sugar. With the back of a spoon, press onto the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of a 9 1/2-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
For the filling: Spoon the dulce de leche into the cooled crust and spread evenly. Peel and slice 3 of the bananas. Arrange over the filling. In a bowl, beat the cream, sugar and vanilla just until stiff; spread over the bananas. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
To serve: Peel and slice the remaining banana. Arrange on top of the cream.
