Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust: you can find pre-made graham cracker crusts in the baking section of your grocery store. Or you can make your own by mixing together 8 ounces crushed graham crackers with 6 tablespoons melted butter. 

Bananas: use ripe bananas for the best flavor. You will need three bananas total for the banoffee ice cream pie. One for slices on the bottom, and the other two get mashed and added to the whipped cream. 

Dulce de Leche: dulce de leche is a sweet caramel-like sauce. You can find it canned in the baking section of your grocery store. Or you can make your own by simmering a can of sweetened condensed milk. Toffee sauce or caramel sauce is a great substitute. 

Whipped Cream: whipped cream or heavy cream forms the “ice cream” for this pie. To make this with real ice cream, substitute your favorite vanilla ice cream and omit the extra sugar. 

Powdered Sugar: a bit of powdered sugar is added to the whipped cream. Make sure you are using powdered sugar and not granulated sugar. 

How to Make Banoffee Ice Cream Pie

This simple and delicious recipe for banoffee ice cream pie comes together fast! The recipe will need about 4-5 hours to chill, so be sure to plan accordingly. 

Step 1: dulce de leche layer

​Unwrap your pre-made graham cracker crust. Spread about two-thirds of the can of dulce de leche on the bottom of the crust. Use a spatula to gently spread on the bottom, being careful not to break the crust. 

Step 2: add on bananas

Next, cut one of the bananas into round slices and place on top of the layer of caramel on the bottom. 

Step 3: whip the cream

​In a large bowl, combine the whipped cream and powdered sugar. Use an electric mixture to whip the ingredients together until stiff peaks form. 

Next, mash the remaining two bananas in a separate bowl. Then, add the mashed bananas to the whipped cream and mix until just combined and soft peaks form. 

Spread the banana whipped cream mixture on top of the pie crust and smooth the top. 

Step 4: drizzle and freeze

Lastly, pour the remaining dulce de leche into a microwave bowl and heat until slightly pourable. Drizzle the caramel mixture over the top of the whipped cream. 

Place the banoffee ice cream pie in the freezer and let chill, uncovered, for at least 4-5 hours. After the pie has frozen, you can cover with plastic wrap for later use. 

Let the banoffee pie sit a room temperature before cutting into slices and serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.
