Ingredients
- For the Crust:
- 10 oz (300g) digestive biscuits or graham crackers
- ½ cup (113g) butter, melted
- For the Filling:
- 1 can (14 oz – 397g) sweetened condensed milk
- 2–3 ripe medium bananas
- Lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
- For the Topping:
- 1 ¼ cup (300g) whipping cream, chilled
- 2 tsp (2g) instant coffee
- Chocolate curls (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dulce de Leche:
- Place the unopened can of sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan, ensuring it is fully covered with water.
- Bring the saucepan to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 2.5-3 hours, keeping the can submerged.
- After the cooking time, remove the can from the water and allow it to cool before opening.
- Prepare the Crust:
- Place the digestive biscuits or graham crackers into the bowl of a food processor and blend until crumbs form.
- Add the melted butter and process until completely combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom and edges of a round tart pan using the back of a spoon and your fingers.
- Refrigerate the crust for 30 minutes to set.
- Assemble the Pie:
- Spread the prepared dulce de leche evenly over the chilled crust and refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until ready to serve.
- In a large bowl, whip the chilled cream with instant coffee until stiff peaks form.
- Add the Banana Layer:
- Slice the bananas thinly and sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Arrange the banana slices over the dulce de leche layer in one even layer.
- Top the Pie:
- Spread the whipped coffee cream over the bananas.
- Garnish with chocolate curls if desired.
- Serve:
- Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious layers of banana, caramel, and coffee cream!
Notes
- Be sure to let the dulce de leche cool before opening the can to avoid splashing.
- If you prefer, you can use store-bought dulce de leche instead of making your own.
- Chocolate curls can be made by shaving a chocolate bar with a vegetable peeler or you can purchase them pre-made.
- The pie can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before serving.
