👇 FULL RECIPE BELOW 👇
🛒 INGREDIENTS
🍪 For the crust
- 200 g digestive biscuits or graham crackers
- 80 g melted butter
🍌 For the filling
- 3–4 ripe bananas
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk, about 397 g
- 200 ml heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
🍫 Optional toppings
- Grated chocolate
- Cocoa powder
- Chopped walnuts or pecans
- Banana slices
- Whipped cream
👩🍳 INSTRUCTIONS
1️⃣ Prepare the crust
Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs.
Mix them with the melted butter until the mixture resembles damp sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a pie dish.
Place it in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes to firm up.
For a firmer baked crust, bake at 175°C / 350°F for about 8–10 minutes, then cool completely.
2️⃣ Prepare the bananas
Peel the bananas and slice them into even rounds.
Arrange a layer of banana slices over the prepared crust.
Drizzle the lemon juice lightly over the bananas to help slow browning and add a little brightness to the dessert.
3️⃣ Make the creamy filling
In a bowl, whisk together:
- Sweetened condensed milk
- Heavy cream
- Vanilla extract
Mix until smooth and creamy.
Pour the mixture gently over the banana layer.
4️⃣ Add another layer
Arrange more banana slices over the creamy mixture.
If desired, sprinkle a little grated chocolate or chopped nuts over the top.
5️⃣ Chill
Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
The chilling time allows the filling to become firmer and gives the flavors time to blend.
🍫 EASY CHOCOLATE VERSION
For a chocolate twist, add 1–2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder to the creamy filling.
Whisk thoroughly until smooth.
Top with grated chocolate before serving.
🥜 NUTTY VERSION
Add a handful of finely chopped toasted pecans or walnuts between the banana layers.
The creamy filling and crunchy nuts make a delicious combination.
🍓 FRUIT VERSION
You can also add a few sliced strawberries between the banana layers.
The fresh fruit adds color, texture, and a slightly tangy contrast to the sweet filling.
📜 A LITTLE HISTORY
Banana-based desserts have become popular around the world because bananas pair naturally with creamy dairy ingredients, caramel, chocolate, and baked pastry.
Condensed milk became widely used in desserts because removing much of the water from milk made it easier to store and transport while creating a naturally rich and sweet ingredient.
Over time, condensed milk became a favorite ingredient in countless pies, puddings, cakes, and chilled desserts.
