Description
A delightful dessert featuring a buttery crust filled with luscious toffee, ripe bananas, and topped with whipped cream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2-3 large ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
- 2 cups cold heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar or granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Chocolate shavings, chopped nuts, or toffee bits for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ (177℃).
- Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin and ziploc bag.
- Add the melted butter and granulated sugar, mixing until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
- Press the crust mixture into a 9-inch pie plate or springform pan using a flat-bottomed glass or measuring cup to help compact the crumbs on the bottom and up the sides.
- Bake for 10 minutes to set the crust, then remove from the oven and cool completely.
- Prepare the caramel toffee filling by melting the butter and brown sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk, then bring the mixture to a boil for just 2-3 minutes, stirring vigorously, until it thickens and darkens in color to a lovely toffee shade.
- Pour the warm toffee filling into the prepared crust, then let it cool completely and chill for 1-2 hours until firm.
- Beat the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla on medium-high speed until medium peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
- Arrange the sliced bananas in 1-2 layers on top of the cooled toffee layer.
- Cover completely with the whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings before serving.
Notes
For those looking to reduce sugar, suitable sugar-free alternatives include stevia, monk fruit, and allulose. Avoid using honey or maple syrup.
