Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 400 grams dulce de leche (store-bought or homemade)
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- 300 ml heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Start by preparing the biscuit base. Place the digestive biscuits (or graham crackers) in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs. Alternatively, place the biscuits in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave. Mix the melted butter with the biscuit crumbs until fully combined and the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the biscuit mixture firmly into the base of a 9-inch (23cm) pie dish, spreading it evenly across the base and up the sides to form a crust. Use the back of a spoon to smooth the surface. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill and set for at least 10 minutes.
Once the crust is set, spread the dulce de leche evenly over the biscuit base, using a spoon or spatula. Make sure to cover the entire surface.
Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds. Arrange the banana slices over the caramel layer, covering it completely.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
Spread the whipped cream over the sliced bananas, smoothing it out with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
For an optional garnish, sprinkle chocolate shavings or a light dusting of cocoa powder over the whipped cream.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 1 hour before serving to allow it to firm up. Serve chilled and enjoy!
