Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, sliced

Topping

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup grated chocolate (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter, stirring until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan to form an even base. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the caramel layer: Place the unopened can of sweetened condensed milk in a pot of simmering water, ensuring the can is fully submerged. Simmer for about 2 hours, topping up water as needed to keep the can submerged. Remove the can carefully and allow it to cool before opening to reveal the golden caramel.
  3. Assemble bananas and caramel: Spread the cooled caramel evenly over the chilled crust. Arrange the banana slices evenly over the caramel layer.
  4. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  5. Add the whipped cream topping: Gently spread the whipped cream over the bananas, creating a smooth and fluffy layer.
  6. Optional garnish: Sprinkle grated chocolate over the top for an extra touch of decadence.
  7. Chill and serve: Refrigerate the pie for at least an hour to allow flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the can of sweetened condensed milk remains fully submerged in water during simmering to prevent bursting.
  • Let the caramelized condensed milk cool completely before opening to avoid burns.
  • Ripe bananas work best for flavor and texture; avoid overripe to prevent mushiness.
  • For a vegan version, substitute dairy ingredients with plant-based alternatives.
  • The pie is best served chilled and consumed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
