Banoffee Pie is a Dessert that Does all the Heavy Lifting
Banoffee Pie is a Dessert that Does all the Heavy LiftingIf you've never had Banoffee Pie before, prepare to fall in love! This British dessert is pure indulgence with layers of buttery graham cracker crust, sweet and creamy dulce de leche, fresh banana slices, and clouds of homemade whipped cream. The best part? It's a no-bake pie, which means you can whip it up in about 15 minutes and let the fridge do all the work. I love making this when I want something that looks and tastes fancy but doesn't require any complicated baking techniques. The combination of toffee flavors from the dulce de leche with the bananas and cream is absolutely heavenly! It's rich, it's sweet, and every bite is pure bliss. Trust me, once you make this pie, it'll become your go-to for impressing guests (or just treating yourself)!

How to make Banoffee Pie:
Graham Cracker Crust: Please make homemade graham cracker crust –it only takes 15 minutes and the store-bought ones are flavorless and pretty delicate and crumbly.
Assemble: Spread a layer of dulce de leche in the bottom of the crust (you can make your own or buy some), then layer fresh banana slices (I like to toss them in a little lemon juice to prevent browning). Top with fresh whipped cream and sprinkle with Heath toffee bits. This is seriously the easiest pie but the flavor combination is incredible! It's also such a great recipe to turn over to one of your older kids and let them make it by themselves this Thanksgiving!

Notes
Dule de Leche: I recommend the Nestle La Lechera brand if buying from the store, or make it homemade! How to Make Dulce de Leche: Stovetop: Remove can label and place unopened can in a large pot, fully submerged in water. Simmer for about 3 hours (for medium to dark dulce de leche), adding water as needed. Remove, cool completely before opening can. Instant Pot: Place unopened can on a trivet in the pot, cover fully with water, and cook on High Pressure for 40 minutes. Let pressure naturally release before removing can. Cool completely before opening. Slow Cooker: Place the unopened can in the slow cooker, cover with at least 2 inches of water, and cook on Low for 10 hours. Cool completely before opening.
