This pie is absolutely delicious and I prefer making it myself, rather than buying it in the shop. I only boiled my tin of milk for two and a half hours, though, and it was a bit runny after slicing the pie. Next time I will definitely boil for at least 3 hours, but I think it wouldn't hurt at all to boil for 3 and a half, or even 4. I've read some recipes where it calls for 4 to 6 (!!) hours of boiling -- so next time I'm definitely going to go beyond 3 hours to avoid runny toffee! Otherwise this recipe was spot on, though I did use Digestives for the crust and omitted the ginger.

Absolutely delicious!! Just boiling the sweetened condensed milk was dessert in itself! If you are looking for something to turn heads this one is for you! If you don't have ginger I think it would be great with a gingersnap crust or just as delicious with plain graham cracker crust. Awesome thanks for sharing a great recipe!

I first tried this pie in England and I wanted to see if I could recreate it for my English boyfriend. I used crushed gingernuts for the crust and omitted the sugar and extra ginger. I also used three bananas instead of two. I was really worried about the milk exploding because the top was bulging out a bit. But no problems, and I think next time I will take another reviewer's advice and make a couple of cans at a time. All in all a delicious pie that looked fantastic!

I love Banoffee pie! I have never added ginger before. The recipes I have used add a little instant coffee to the whipped cream. A hint- If you have a deep enough crock pot you can simmer the cans on medium heat for 5 hours and the water doesn't cook down as quickly- you still have to watch it though. I usually only have to top it off once during the time, and it's a lot less scary.

While living in Northern Ireland, I would eat this like there was no tomorrow whenever my mother-in-law would make it. Since my in-laws are in town visiting, I wanted to try this out and see how it was received. I slacked a bit on the condensed milk - I substituted (as others have done) the milk with Dulce de Leche, which is easy to find in any store in Texas where I now live. My only complaint about my dish was that the bananas in the store were not as ripe as they should have been for this dish. I topped it with whipped cream and finely chopped pecans. My mother-in-law seemed to really love it, which made me very happy. I am glad I came across this recipe! Thanks for sharing!

Used Ginger Snap biscuits as the crackers in orginal receipe not avaliable, I found the ginger a bit overpowering but my guests loved it. Used 2 cans of Condensed Milk and boiled for 3 1/2 hours (and left in saucepan with lid on - heat off - overnight) toffee was nice and thick.

This is an all time favourite. The combination is divine, I love it! Works with skim condensed milk too

Banoffee is worth the ridiculous 51 grams of fat that it has per serving.

On top of the crust, I added a layer of melted chocolate that I made with 2 squares of bittersweet chocolate (I didn't want to add too much more sweetness). It was a GREAT addition. Definitely top the pie with a little ground coffee and cinnamon. Delish!

Having spent many cofused hours wondering what graham crackers are (someone please tell me!), I ended up using crushed ginger nuts and added 2 tsp of cinnamon instead of the ginger. I also found that i didn't need to use the sugar as it was sweet enough without. Many thanks for a fantastic recipe.

Yummy!...Instead of boiling the can of condensed milk I pour 2 cans into a 9 X 13 dish and cover with tin foil, put that into a larger oven dish, fill it with water half way up the 9 X 13, then bake at 300 degrees for 1 and a half hours---makes a wonderful toffee!

okay first of all, I cut down on the butter quite a bit. Only used abt 1/2 cup that I melted in the pie plate in the oven. Then, I added the crumbs with the sugar and mixed it all in and pressed it gently to cover bottom. I omitted the ginger, as I don't like it much. I baked the crust in a 375 oven for a few minutes just to dry it a bit. Then, let it cool. As for the condensed milk, I used a 300ml can and the best and easiest way was to boil it in a big sauce pan filled with water, so I didn't have to watch it as closely. Only added a bit of water each 1 1\2 hours. Boiled it for 4 1/2 hours. I let it rest abt 30 mins. Didn't ooze out much cuz it had cooled. It was nice and firm and creamy and brown in color. I thought it may have been overcooked, but thank goodness, it tasted great! I also added a bit of sugar(1 tbsp) to the whipped cream, and shaved chocolate on top. Beautifu looking and my whole family loved it! They said it was really very delicious! Thanks for the recipe. Easy and delish. Worth the wait!

I've made this many times using the condensed milk. I got a tip from my Irish friend -- you can boil several cans of the milk and then put them back in the cupboard until you are ready to use them. One time I gave her back is to buy pre-made caramel in the can. It's called Dulce de Leche and can be found by the Mexican food at your grocery store. It's exactly the same (according to my friend from Ireland). You do have to soften the dulce de leche up a bit to make it spreadable - easy to do in the microwave (out of the can of course!). Just made it last night - great stuff!

Too runny, I really had to encourage folks to try it. But those that did loved it. Still, I wish it looked better. The next time I cooked the condensed milk even longer, it comes out less runny. This is my variation: I made a crust with crushed regular salty pretzels, and less butter. Cooked milk alot longer and I sprinkled crushed chocolate covered pretzels on top of the cream. the salt and sweet were awsome together, don't knock it 'till you try it!

This was so simple and the end result was so good! I'm not a big sweets eater, so it was a bit rich for me (a little piece goes a long way), but still good, and my family loved it! My picky 10 year old daughter proclaimed it the best pie she's ever eaten! She even ate it first at Thanksgiving so she could make sure she got a piece! We used a pre-made pie crust, and whiped cream.
