Dulce de Leche Banana Toffee Pie

We celebrated Pi day with a group of friends the other week.

Sharon  was a lovely host & made the most amazing Chicken Pot pie for all of us

and I brought along this bad boy. 

I found the recipe on Our Best Bites. 

 I made the Dulce de Leche using my crock-pot. I made my own pie crust too for the 1st time ever. Don't know why I've always been scared to try.  Sharon's a great teacher. We followed the Pioneer Woman's recipe. Found here. 

Mine didn't look this pretty...but it sure tasted amazing! 

Dulce de Leche Banana Toffee Pie
Recipe by Our Best Bites

Ingredients:1 8-serving chocolate cookie pie crust
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 bananas
1 cup crushed chocolate-covered toffee bars or Heath bits
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
8 ounces cream cheese (light is fine)
1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions:

Prepare Dulce de Leche according to these instructions. When done, allow to cool slightly and then spread onto the bottom and up the sides of the cookie crust.

Cut the bananas into 1/4″ slices. Lay the slices over the Dulce de Leche. Sprinkle with about 1/2 of the toffee bits and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream. Beat with electric beaters until medium peaks form. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and the brown sugar with the electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the whipped cream and mix with the electric mixer until fluffy and combined. Gently spread over the toffee bits and then sprinkle with remaining toffee bits. Chill for several hours before serving. Serves 8-10.
