Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 ounces vanilla wafers
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Salt
5 large ripe bananas, divided
1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons coarse sugar for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, pulse cookies until finely ground (you should have about 1 1/2 cups). Add butter and a scant 1/4 teaspoon salt and pulse until combined. Firmly press crumb mixture into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake until crust is dry and set, about 12 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack before filling.
  • In a large bowl, mash 2 bananas until smooth. Stir in condensed milk, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat cream on high until stiff peaks form, 3 minutes. With a rubber spatula, gently fold whipped cream into banana mixture. Transfer to crust, cover with plastic, and freeze until firm, at least 12 hours.
  • Cut remaining 2 bananas lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices. Layer banana slices on top of pie. Just before serving, sprinkle sugar evenly over bananas. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize sugar. Return pie to freezer for a few minutes if becomes too soft.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your pie will be.
  • Don't overmix the filling: Overmixing will make the filling tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the pie before serving: This will help the pie to set and make it easier to slice.
  • Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream: This will add a delicious and creamy touch.
  • Store the pie in the refrigerator for up to 3 days: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap.

Conclusion:

Banana icebox pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, banana filling and crunchy graham cracker crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
