14ozsweetened condensed milkI used one can of Eagle Brand
1cupheavy cream
1tsinstant coffeeI used one packet of Folger's Classic Roast instant coffee (0.07 oz packet)
1tablespoonsugar
½tablespooncocoa powderyou can vary the amount of cocoa powder to your tastes, the ½ tablespoon is a recommended amount.
Instructions
Toffee
Submerge the can of sweetened condensed milk (remove the label) in a large and deep stock pot. Add plenty of water (never allow the can to be out of water). Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer for 2.5 hrs. Every so often check to make sure that the can is still submerged. If it's not, then top up with water. After 2.5 hrs, carefully remove the hot can using tongs and place on the side to cool. Allow to completely cool before opening! (Very important.)
Graham Cracker Crust
Make the graham cracker crust by finely crushing the graham crackers. An easy way to do this is to add to your blender or food processor.
Add 6 tbsps of melted butter, and stir to completely incorporate.
Press the crumb mixture down firmly into the pie pan. You can use a measuring cup to assist you in doing this! Once the crust is made, place in your refrigerator until ready to use.
Whipped Cream Topping
Place heavy cream in a mixing bowl, and add sugar and instant coffee. Whip or beat using an electric hand mixer, until peaks form. You could also use a stand mixer with whisk attachment if you have one.
Assemble the Pie!
Layer the cooled toffee onto the graham cracker crust. Top the toffee with half of the sliced bananas, and then place the pillowy clouds of whipped cream on top of the bananas.
Add the remaining banana slices on top of the whipped cream and sprinkle with some cocoa powder. Chill the pie for about an hour before enjoying and then tuck in!!
Notes
You can use an ice water bath to cool the hot metal can of condensed milk down quicker. Feel free to add some chocolate shavings on top of the pie for some extra scrumptiousness! Enjoy one of the finest desserts ever...the Banoffee Pie!
