  • 6 tbsp. butter, melted
Filling:
  • ¾ c. unsalted butter
  • ½ c. brown sugar
  • 3 c. canned sweetened condensed milk

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan or a deep-dish cake pan. Bake the crust for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool before filling.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Melt butter, and whisk in brown sugar and sweetened condensed milk. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. Boil for 3 minutes, and then remove from the heat.
  3. Spread the mixture onto the cooled graham cracker crust, and chill for at least 1 hour.
  4. Top the pie with a layer of bananas, followed by a layer of whipped cream. Garnish with crushed toffee bars, more sliced bananas, and mint sprigs.
  5. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
  6. Serves 6-8
