Recipe for Banoffee Pie

[Smart Cook]

Does anybody have a good recipe for Banoffee Pie? We tried using "dulce de leche" as filling, but it turned runny (the flavor was awesome, though). Guess, it was not stable. What can you suggest? Help!:confused:

Banoffee Pie

Recipe courtesy Paula Deen

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
10 tablespoons butter, softened
2 (14-ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
3 large bananas
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix graham cracker crumbs with softened butter and press mixture into 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes.

Lower the oven to 300 degrees F for the toffee filling.

To create toffee filling, caramelize the sweetened condensed milk. Pour the condensed milk into a 9 by 12 by 2-inch glass baking dish. Cover with foil and place dish inside a larger poaching pan. Add water to poaching pan until half way up sides of baking dish. Bake for 1 1/2 hours.

Once both the crust and toffee filling are cooled, spread half of the filling evenly inside crust. Slice the bananas and layer on top of filling. Pour remaining half of filling over bananas, spreading evenly. Whip the cream with the confectioners' sugar and vanilla and spread on top of toffee filling and bananas.

My grandmother tried this some years ago, but it didn't have to much success, so I can't say a lot about the taste... The recepy provided by Clarissa sounds delicious, but one never knows...
Anyways, I found a video on preparing Banoffee Pie (http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-make-banoffee-pie)... Hope it helps.

Wow, I'm surprised that somebody actually brought this up! I first heard about this from a friend in England, and found a decent recipe online. However, the one by Paula Deen sounds even more scrumptious!
