Categories     Pie

Time 2h15m

Yield 1 pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 prepared vanilla wafer, crust
2 -3 large bananas
1/2 pint whipping cream
cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Remove the label from UNOPENED can of sweetened condensed milk, place it in a sauce pot, cover the can completely with water and boil for a minimum of two hours with a lid on the pot. Check from time to time and add water as needed to keep the can completely covered with boiling water.
  • DO NOT OPEN THE HOT CAN!
  • After boiling for a minimum of two hours, remove the pot from heat and place it in the sink, add cold water to the pot to stop the boiling process. Let the tap run so the hot water spills out of the pan and is replaced with cold tap water. Leave the can to cool.
  • Whip the cream in a chilled bowl until it is light and fluffy. Set in refrigerator.
  • When the can is cool enough to handle, carefully open and spread the Dulce de Leche over the bottom of the crust.
  • Add a layer of sliced bananas over the Dulce de Leche.
  • Then spread on a layer of whipped cream -- then another layer of sliced bananas. Then add the final layer of whipped cream.
  • Dust the top with cocoa powder, chocolate curls, or crushed toffee.
  • This is very rich and will serve several people--but you might not want to share! It's that good.

BANANA CARAMEL CREAM DESSERT RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Banana Caramel Cream Dessert Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by kayjayjohnson

Number Of Ingredients 13

Vanilla Pastry Cream (recipe below)
Bananas (I used two bananas for 6 small dessert servings)
Good quality caramel sauce, or dulce de leche.
Fresh whipped cream (I used 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream and 1 Tablespoon powdered sugar)
Graham Cracker crumble (recipe below)
Vanilla Pastry Cream
2/3 cup sugar (can be reduced to 1/2 cup if you prefer desserts less sweet)
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups whole milk
2 eggs
2 Tablespoons butter
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract (or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, beat eggs with a fork to combine. Set aside. Mix sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium saucepan. Gradually pour in milk, while whisking, to make a smooth mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring almost constantly, until the mixture thickens and boils. Continue to cook and stir one minute. Pour several tablespoons of the hot mixture into the bowl with the eggs and immediately stir well. Pour warmed egg mixture into the pan with the rest of the hot milk mixture. Return to a slow boil, and cook one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. Set aside to cool. When the pan has cooled, place in the refrigerator to fully cool. If desired, lay a piece of plastic wrap on the top surface of the pastry cream to prevent a skin from forming. Graham Cracker Crumble 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sized crackers) 1/3 cup butter, melted 1 Tablespoon sugar Directions: Crush crackers in a large ziplock type bag. Pour crumbs, sugar and melted butter into a bowl and , stir until fully combined. Pour into a 9″x13″ casserole dish and press into a even layer. Bake at 350*F for 10-12 minutes, until light brown. Allow to cool. Dessert assembly~ (pictured below as well) 1. Spoon about 2 tablespoons graham cracker crumble into individual serving dishes. Use a small glass to press the crumble into a firm layer (as pictured below). 2. Add a layer of pastry cream into each dish. For easy assembly, fill a large ziplock type bag with the pastry cream, snip off the end and fill the dishes from this bag. 3. Add a few slices of banana. 4. Top bananas with a layer of whipped cream. 5. Add some graham cracker crumble and a drizzle of caramel (scoop caramel or dulce de leche into a small ziplock bag and snip off the end for easy application). Repeat layers 2-5 Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 3 hours. Top with a slice of fresh banana just before serving.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. They'll be sweeter and have a better flavor.
  • Chill the bananas before using. This will make them easier to slice and will help the cream filling to set.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing. This will help to prevent lumps.
  • Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the mixture, making it light and creamy.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently. Overmixing can cause the cream filling to deflate.
  • Chill the dessert for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cream filling to set.

Conclusion:

Banana cream dessert is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make, delicious, and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make a banana cream dessert that is sure to impress your friends and family.
