Ingredients
- 30 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 14 graham crackers
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3 bananas sliced
- chocolate shaving for garnish
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Pour the condensed milk into a baking dish.
- Cover with foil and set it inside a larger baking dish.
- Fill the larger dish with hot water, until it reaches almost all up the sides of the small dish.
- Place the condensed milk in the double dishes in the oven and cook for 90 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow time to cool.
- Whisk until smooth to make the dulce de leche mixture.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
- Pulse the graham crackers and melted butter into a food processor until it resembles wet sand.
- Lightly grease a tart pan.
- Create a crust with the cracker mixture by pouring it into the tart pan and pressing down evenly to coat the bottom and up the sides.
- Bake the crust until golden, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool.
- Spread the dulce de leche in the crust, spreading into an even layer.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Beat the heavy cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Add the sugar and continue beating until it holds stiff peaks.
- Remove the pie from the fridge and add the sliced bananas before topping with the whipped cream.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings and serve!
