Dulce de Leche Pie
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (16 crackers)
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- Two 14-ounce cans sweetened condensed milk
- 2 large bananas
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 ounces good-quality semisweet dark chocolate
- For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, blend together the graham cracker crumbs and brown sugar.
- Drizzle in the butter and mix with a fork until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
- Press the mixture evenly over the bottom and about halfway up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
- Bake for 6 to 8 minutes.
- Let cool completely before filling.
- For the filling: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a shallow baking dish.
- Cover the pan snugly with aluminum foil.
- Set the shallow dish in a larger roasting pan and add hot water until it reaches halfway up the side of the baking dish.
- Bake until a dark caramel color, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Check occasionally to add more water to the pan as needed.
- The condensed milk will turn a nice brown caramel color.
- Carefully remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- Whisk out any lumps until smooth and fill the prepared pie crust.
- Slice the bananas and arrange them on top of the dulce de leche caramel.
- Using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or in a large mixing bowl using a handheld mixer), whip the cream on medium speed until it starts to thicken.
- Add the confectioners' sugar and beat until the cream holds nice soft peaks.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Grate the chocolate on top of the whipped cream just before serving.
