BANOFFEE Pie! Banoffee = bananas + toffee, and it's so delicious!
I decided I had to learn to make this after having it on two different trips to Ireland. Thinking it was an Irish thing, I looked it up and guess what? It's British! But served in Ireland a lot, I guess!
Here's the recipe I used from the internet, and I will say there's only one kind of complicated step when making this: getting the sweetened condensed milk in the can to turn to caramel, or toffee, as the Brits say. I had looked at several recipes to get the condensed milk to turn to caramel. I first tried the water bath method, then put it in the refrigerator to cool and use the next day. When I opened the can, it was still yellow, and not tan, like it was supposed to be. So I followed this recipe and baked it in the oven in a pie dish with a water bath.
After that, you basically assemble this no-cook pie. Put the caramel into the pie crust, then sliced bananas, then the whipped cream and garnish. Voila! A fresh tasting, yummy, messy, wonderful dessert.
