Banoffee Pie Banana Caramel Tart Recipes

Steps:

• Place unopened can of condensed milk in a large pot; cover with water. Bring to boil; reduce to a simmer. Cover pot with lid and simmer for 3 hours to make the toffee, checking periodically to ensure the can is still immersed and adding more water as needed.
• Remove can from the pot and allow to cool until safe to handle. Rinse with cold running water for 10 minutes to speed up cooling.
• Open carefully and stir toffee until smooth. Spread toffee over the bottom of the prepared graham pie crust. Chill for at least 1 hour.
• Layer sliced bananas on top of the toffee. Beat cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Add sugar and continue to beat until fluffy. Spread whipped cream over bananas.

Steps:

• Preparing the Caramel: -Immerse closed can in a pot of water and bring to a boil. -Leave on a simmer or light boil for 3 hours, topping up with water as needed. Be careful, the can should be covered with water at all times or it could explode. -Carefully, take out the can from the boiling water and put it aside to cool completely. -You can do this ahead of time, and put the can in the refrigerator or even in the cupboard, it stays for months.
• -Place the biscuits in the bowl of a food processor and process until finely crushed. Add the butter and process until well combined. -Spread the crust mix on the bottom of a spring form tin or a pie plate. -Use the back of a metal spoon to firmly press the biscuit mixture over the base and side of each tin. -Place in the fridge until required.
• -Peel and thinly slice bananas, and arrange over the crust. *(I personally like my pie base to be filled with bananas, they are not an accessory here!) -Dissolve the powder gelatin in a 1/4 cup of hot water, then pour it over the caramel, mix well. *(Originally the banoffee pie does not require gelatin, but I don't like a runny pie, that's why I added the gelatin so that when you cut your pie it holds better. You can definitely do without it) -Pour the caramel mixture over the bananas. Chill. *(Some people like to pour the caramel directly over the crust, when chilled top it with bananas)
• -Whip up the cream with the sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks. -Spread the whipped cream over the chilled pie. Decorate with chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, caramel sauce, nuts etc.
