How to make Banoffee Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Making the crust: Start with entire graham crackers and ground them into fine crumbs in a food processor or blender.
- After mixing the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar in a medium bowl, add the melted butter. A thick, gritty, sandy mixture will result.
- Smash any large chunks. Put the mixture in an oiled 9-inch pie dish. To produce a compact crust, press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides with medium pressure.
- Avoid heavy packing since it hardens the crust. Pat the ingredients until it’s no longer crumbly. Use a tiny flat-bottomed measuring cup to push down the bottom crust and level the surface without packing too hard.
- Run a spoon around the bottom corner to create a rounded crust and prevent it from coming apart. Visit the graham cracker crust recipe page for shaping advice.
- Bake the crust 15 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes. For whipped cream: Whip heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed for 3–4 minutes until medium peaks form with a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment.
- Medium peaks are ideal for topping and piping pastries since they are between soft and rigid.
- Put dulce de leche on the crust. Place banana slices in 1–2 layers on dulce de leche and top with whipped cream.
- Allow pie to chill uncovered for 2–24 hours. Optional toppings before serving. Keep leftover pie covered in the fridge for 5 days.
