Sinful Banana Pie • 3 bananas • 1 tin of sweetened condensed milk • 2 cups whipping cream (or use cool whip) • 1 package of graham crackers (or use graham crust) • 1 stick of butter (omit if using premade crust) • 1 tsp vanilla • 1 small bar of chocolate Your first step can be done way ahead of time (at least hours but can be as much as months before). Remove the label on the condensed milk and submerge the unopened can in pot of water. Cover and boil for 2.5 hours. Warning: Be sure to keep the can covered by water at all times!! After required time has passed, take pot off the stove and allow the can to cool. In case you're wondering – you just made toffee! To make the crust (*You can skip this step entirely by buying a ready made graham cracker crust.) • Grind up crackers in food processor. • Melt stick of butter in microwave and pour into crumb mixture. • Blend until you have a moist sand mixture. • Smooth wet crumbs into pie plate to make a crust. • Bake at 350F for 10 minutes. • Set aside to cool. To make whipped cream (*You can skip this step entirely by using cool whip. ) • Whip heavy cold cream and vanilla on high until whipped • Set aside Cut up bananas into slices and lay into your crust. It doesn't matter how you arrange them really. Just go wild. Open toffee can, mix with knife until smooth, pour on bananas. Spread whipped cream over the whole mess Grate chocolate on top (optional) Put in fridge to set for at least 1 hour
Doesn't this sound just yummy? Additionally, making toffee? How neat is that? I can think of alot of things to do with toffee...like drink it? No, but this could be used in a Paula Deen Banana pudding....just improvise. Eat and enjoy!!! Can you believe that January is almost over? Life is definitely speeding by. Happy what's left of January to you and here is looking at February.
