Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 medium bananas sliced into rounds, divided
  • 2 cups shortbread crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons salted butter melted
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter 0.5 stick / 57 g
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 ounces
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream 238 g
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Spray an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Shortbread Crust
  1. In a bowl, combine shortbread crumbs and melted butter with a fork. Press the crust into the bottom of and halfway up the sides of the prepared springform pan. Set aside as you make the filling.
Toffee Filling
  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and brown sugar, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
  2. Add the sweetened condensed milk. Increase the temperature to medium-low, bringing the mixture to a low simmer. Stir continuously for 16-18 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and turns a golden caramel color.
  3. Remove from heat and set aside as you make the whipped cream.
Whipped Cream
  1. In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip cream until stiff peaks are just about to form (about 1.5 minutes). Beat in confectioners' sugar until stiff peaks form.
Assembly
  1. Layer half of the banana rounds over the crust.
  2. Pour the toffee sauce over the bananas. Add the remaining bananas.
  3. Top with whipped cream.
  4. Transfer the pie to the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour, up to overnight.
  5. Serve chilled, sprinkled with extra shortbread crumbs.

Notes

For best results, allow the pie to chill thoroughly before serving. A sprinkle of extra shortbread crumbs or chocolate shavings can be a nice touch.
