Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams graham cracker crumbs
- 120 grams unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 4 medium bananas (ripe)
- 240 milliliters heavy cream (cold)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie dish, spreading it evenly across the base and up the sides to form a crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, then let it cool completely at room temperature.
To make the caramel layer, pour the sweetened condensed milk into a heatproof dish. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and place it in a larger baking pan filled with hot water halfway up the sides of the dish.
Bake the condensed milk at 350°F (175°C) for 90 minutes until it turns into a thick golden caramel. Stir it to ensure a smooth consistency, and let it cool.
Slice the bananas into thin, even rounds.
Spread the caramel evenly over the cooled pie crust, then arrange the banana slices on top of the caramel in a single layer.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Spread the whipped cream over the banana layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Optional: Garnish the pie with chocolate shavings or additional banana slices for decoration.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Caramel Banana Pie!
