Smooth and Creamy Dulce de Leche in a pie with bananas and whipped cream are the makings for a perfect dessert. And if that’s not delicious enough, then you should know that this is one of the easiest pies to make!
Why is it called Banoffee Pie?
Banoffee might sound very exotic and different but its really the combination of Banana and Toffee together in one word. Pretty creative right? Although you might be asking, there’s really not toffee in this recipe. You are correct, however, Dulce de Leche has a rich and creamy toffee flavor to it which is where the toffee comes from.
How to Make Banoffee Pie
Assemble your ingredients, For exact amounts see the recipe card below.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pour both cans of sweetened condensed milk into a square baking dish and cover TIGHTLY with foil.
Place that baking dish into a 9 X 13 baking dish, or any larger baking dish you may have and pour in water into the dish until it is halfway up the sides of the smaller dish.
Place in the oven and cook for 1 hour and 45 minutes. During this time check the water level every 30-45 minutes and refill water as necessary. The water will boil in the oven so be sure the foil is on the small dish extra tight so no water spills into the milk.
After cooking, remove the dish from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Whisk the mixture together until smooth, now you have creamy Dulce de Leche!
Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a food processor, combine the graham crackers and melted butter. Pulse until the mixture is finely ground and resembles wet sand. Add an additional tablespoon of melted butter if needed.
Use nonstick cooking spray on your chosen 9 in. pie plate. Then, add the graham cracker mixture to the pie plate.
Bake the crust in the oven for 5 minutes then remove and let cool to room temperature.
Next, spread the Dulce de Leche onto the cooled crust and smooth into an even layer. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight until set.
In a large bowl beat the heavy cream until soft peaks, add in the sugar and then beat until firm peaks form.
Remove the pie from the fridge. Slice the banana and place slices over the top of the dulce de leche.
Then, top the pie with the whipped cream, spreading evenly to cover the bananas. Finally garnish with chocolate shavings.
Serve and enjoy!

Just don’t let all the water boil away!)- I have zero doubts that with the bananas, etc., it will be a smashing hit!!! Thanks so much for this great idea!!!
