Banana Cream Pie is an old-fashioned dessert made with vanilla pudding, sliced bananas, & mounds of whipped cream in a flaky crust!
Banoffee pie is a classic British dessert made from bananas, whipped cream, thick caramel sauce and buttery biscuit base.
However, if you can’t choose just one of these two delicious dessert, why not to combine them into one delicious dessert that has the best from both pies.
Banoffee Pie Lasagna has buttery graham cracker crust, sliced bananas, thick caramel sauce, vanilla pudding cream filling and whipped cream on top.
How To Make Banoffee Cream Pie Lasagna
First layer, graham cracker crust is just a simple mixture of melted butter and graham cracker crumbs.
Press the mixture into the bottom of 13 x 9 inches dish, then place in the fridge to firm.
You can skip the homemade brown sugar caramel sauce if you like, and use two 14-oz. can of store-bought dulce de leche.
But if you want to make homemade caramel, melt ½ cup of butter into a heavy saucepan, then stir in light brown sugar and cook over medium- low heat for 5 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved. Be careful not to burn the sugar or it will taste bitter. Add the condensed milk, and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes, or until it get brown color. Keep stirring constantly so the caramel doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. Set aside to cool.
When the caramel cools completely, spread over the crust and arrange sliced bananas on top, gently press the bananas into the caramel, and place in the fridge.
To make the filling, mix instant pudding mix and milk. Then beat in the whipped cream and spread over the bananas. Place in the fridge to set.
Finally top with whipped cream and drizzle with caramel sauce if desired and swirl the caramel with a toothpick. Garnish with chopped pecans, graham cracker coarse crumbs and banana slices.
If you don’t like thawed store-bought whipped cream like Cool Whip, you can make homemade whipped cream. Use 2 cups heavy whipping cream, beat until soft peaks form, than add ½ cup powdered sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until very stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.
This lasagna dessert can be stored just for 2-3 days in the fridge because the bananas will brown and become mushy. It can’t be stored in the freezer neither, due to bananas.
