Ingredients
- 1 pre-made 9-inch graham cracker crust or 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers + 6 tablespoons melted butter
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 1 cup (240 ml) caramel sauce
- 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: chopped nuts or shaved dark chocolate for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: If using homemade, crush 1 ½ cups graham crackers and mix with 6 tablespoons melted butter. Press into pie dish and chill.
- Make the creamy filling: Mix sweetened condensed milk, caramel sauce, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Slice the bananas into ¼ inch thick rounds.
- Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold ¾ of the whipped cream into the caramel-condensed milk mixture.
- Assemble the pie: Spread half the caramel cream over the crust, layer half the bananas, spread remaining filling, then remaining bananas. Top with remaining whipped cream.
- Chill the pie in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving. Optionally drizzle extra caramel sauce and sprinkle nuts or chocolate on top.
Notes
Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creamy texture. Chill the pie well to set the filling. Soft peaks for whipped cream are key to a light texture. Optional toppings include chopped nuts or dark chocolate shavings. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and caramel with coconut caramel or date syrup. Gluten-free crust can be made with almond flour.
