Banana Caramel Pie Recipes

Steps:

• To make dulce de leche, place the unopened can of sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan, and add enough water to cover half-way up the can. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Cook for 3 hours, adding more water as necessary. Remove from heat and cool.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine the graham cracker crumbs with the butter in a mixing bowl until evenly blended. Press the crumb mixture evenly into a 9 inch pie plate.
• Bake pie crust in preheated oven until lightly browned, 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven, and cool on a wire rack.
• Open the can of dulce de leche, and pour half, or about 3/4 cup, over the pie crust. Slice the bananas and arrange half in a layer over the dulce de leche filling. Pour the remaining dulce de leche over the bananas. Top with remaining banana slices.
• Pour the whipping cream into a mixing bowl, and beat until soft peaks form. Add the sugar and vanilla extract; continue beating until stiff peaks form. Spoon the whipped cream over the bananas. Chill at least 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• 1. Peel the label from your Eagle Brand milk. In a large sauce or stew pot bring water to boil and place Eagle Brand Milk in water. Allow to boil for 3-4 hours. I usually allow 3 1/2 to make sure its complete. Add water every 30 minutes to keep covered. I also like to turn my can at that time, to make sure it has even heat. Once complete, set out to become room temp. I've also used while still warm.
• 2. While your Eagle Brand Milk is cooling, bake your pie shell. Peel and slice your bananas.
• 3. Open your Eagle Brand Milk to find the most amazing caramel to ever touch your tongue. Place a layer of sliced bananas as the bottom layer, then a layer of caramel. Top with more bananas and then add your cool whip. You can do as many layers as you want. Refrigerate and serve.

Steps:

• Mix sugar, flour and salt in saucepan.
• Stir in cold water and egg yolks.
• Beat smooth.
• Gradually stir in boiling water.
• Cook, stirring constantly for about 3 minutes until smoothly thickened.
• Stir in butter, vanilla and evaporated milk.
• Cool slightly.
• Pour into baked pie shell.
• Shortly before serving, slice bananas and arrange over filling.
• Top with whipped cream or meringue (made from left-over egg whites).

Steps:

• Sprinkle 1/3 cup chocolate chips or toffee bits in the bottom of crust.
• In a large bowl, combine caramel topping and milk, add pudding mix. Whisk together for two (2) minutes. Carefully fill pie crust with the pudding mixture.
• Chill at least 20 minutes.
• Arrange sliced bananas on top of the pudding. Top with whipped topping. Sprinkle with toasted coconut and remaining mini chocolate chips or toffee bits. Serve immediately or refrigerate.
• Preparation time includes chill time.

Steps:

• In a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan, mix together the sugar, salt, cornstarch, and flour. Over medium-low heat, slowly whisk in the milk.
• In a separate mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks. Once the pastry cream starts to boil, transfer 1/2 cup of the pastry cream to the egg yolks and whisk to temper. Return the mixture to the saucepan. Continue whisking until the mixture coats the back of a spoon and is smooth and thick. Strain.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the butter, and vanilla. Stir in 1 cup sliced bananas. Allow the mixture to cool.
• Stir the custard to loosen, if necessary. Cover the bottom of the prepared crust with more sliced bananas and drizzle with 1/4 cup Salted Caramel Sauce. Top with half of the sliced bananas, then 1 cup custard, covering the bananas completely. Repeat layering with the remaining bananas and the remaining custard. Chill the banana cream pie until the filling is set, about 2 hours.
• For the topping: In a medium bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Add the sugar, and vanilla and whip until stiff peaks form.
• Top the chilled pie with the fresh whipped cream. Drizzle with additional caramel sauce, just before serving.
• For the Perfect Pie Dough:
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a mixing bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, salt and vanilla; cut or work the butter into the flour mixture with your fingers or a cold pastry cutter until you have large pea sized chunks scattered throughout. Alternatively, pulse the dough in a food processor, or mix in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment on low speed.
• Add the ice water slowly while stirring with a fork, or in the food processor or mixer, until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, flatten and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
• Roll out one chilled pie dough to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Reserve the second pie dough disc for another use. Transfer dough to pie plate, pressing the dough lightly into the plate; trim the edges. Dock the dough with the prongs of a fork evenly over the bottom of the pie plate. Line the docked dough with aluminum foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
• Bake the pie crust until the edges are brown and golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and remove the weights. Return crust to the oven to finish baking for another 5 minutes.
• Yield: 1 (9-inch) pie crust
• To make the salted caramel sauce:
• In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and bring to a boil without stirring. If necessary, use a wet pastry brush to wash down any crystals on the side of the pan. Boil until the syrup is a deep amber color, about 5 to 6 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and carefully whisk in the heavy cream. The mixture will bubble. Stir in the unsalted butter, and salt, to taste. Transfer the caramel to a dish and cool.
• Cook's Note: This recipe will last in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat before serving.
• Yield: 1 1/2 cups sauce

Steps:

• Make shell:
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Into a food processor crumble graham crackers and grind to fine crumbs (you should have about 1 1/3 cups crumbs). Add walnuts, sugar, butter, and salt and pulse motor until nuts are finely chopped. Press crumb mixture evenly onto bottom and side of a glass 10- by 2-inch deep dish pie plate and bake in middle of oven 8 minutes. Cool shell in plate on rack.
• In a dry heavy 3-quart saucepan cook granulated sugar over moderate heat, stirring with fork, until melted and cook without stirring, swirling pan, until a golden caramel. Add corn syrup and boil over moderate heat, stirring until combined well. Add 2/3 cup cream (caramel will steam and harden) and boil, stirring occasionally, until a candy thermometer registers 210°F. Stir cornstarch mixture and stir into caramel. Boil caramel, stirring constantly, 1 minute and remove pan from heat. When caramel stops bubbling, stir in vanilla and pour into shell. Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over hot caramel and cool completely. Pie may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
• Peel bananas and slice thin. Arrange bananas evenly over chocolate layer. In a bowl beat remaining cup cream until thickened and beat in confectioners' sugar. Beat cream until it holds stiff peaks and spread over bananas.
• Sprinkle chocolate curls over pie and chill, uncovered, in freezer 30 minutes, so pie can be cut easily.

Steps:

• Layer bananas in bottom of crust. Drizzle caramel topping over. Beat cream, sugar and vanilla in bowl until stiff peaks form. Spread over bananas, swirling top of mixture decoratively with spatula. Sprinkle toffee around edge of pie. Chill at least 1 hour and up to 6 hours.
• Cut pie into wedges and serve.

Steps:

• Remove paper from cans and submerge in saucepan with enough water to cover cans by at least 2 inches. Boil for 2 1/2 hours. Remove from water with tongs and let cool. (can be boiled ahead of time and stored in fridge.).
• pierce pie shells with fork along bottom and sides.
• bake pie shells for 10 mins or until light brown.
• slice bananas to desired thickness.
• place bananas in a large bowl and toss with lemon juice. (this will keep them from turning brown).
• using a slotted spoon place an even amount of bananas into each pie shell, carefully allowing some of the excess lemon juice to drain off.
• add 1 can of caramelized milk to each banana pie and smooth over bananas. (tip- if caramel is too thick, empty it into glass dish and microwave for 1 minute until soft before adding to pies.).
• top with whip cream and enjoy!

Steps:

• Layer the banana slices evenly over the bottom of the prepared crust.
• Drizzle the caramel topping over the bananas.
• Beat the whipping cream with sugar and vanilla until very stiff.
• Spread over the banana slices, swirling to make a decorative pattern.
• Sprinkle the chopped Skor pieces on top or around the edges of the whipping cream.
• Chill for a minimum of 1 hour before serving.
• Delicious!
