Ingredients

  • 1 single, store-bought pie crust
  • 14 ounces can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 large banana cut into 24 pieces
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup English toffee bits such as Heath Bits'o Brickle {optional}

Instructions

Make Dulce de Leche Caramel (See Notes)

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Pour 1 can of sweetened condensed milk into an 8x8 inch glass baking dish. Place the baking dish inside a larger baking pan with high sides. Carefully fill with hot water, reaching about half way up the sides of the glass dish. Tightly cover with foil.
  • Bake for about 2 hours, checking about half way through cooking time to make sure there is still water in the pan. {If not or running low, add more.} Whisk to smooth.
  • Remove pan from oven and whisk until completely smooth. (Should be thick and caramel colored.)

For Whipped Cream

  • Place about 1 cup of cold heavy whipping cream into the bowl of a stand mixer. Add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.
  • Lightly mix until sugar begins to dissolve. Using the whisk attachment, whip until stiff peaks can be formed. Set aside in refrigerator.

For Mini Crusts

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Roll out pie dough to about ⅛ inch thick. With a round cookie cutter {or an upside down drinking glass dipped in flour}, cut out 16 circles.
  • Press each dough circle in the well of a mini-muffin tin, patting it gently into the bottom and up the sides. Prick the bottom of each dough circle a few times with a fork. (This will help to prevent puffing up.)
  • Bake for 22-25 minutes or until just starting to turn golden brown.

Assemble

  • Drop a heaping teaspoon full of caramel mixture into each baked mini-pie crust. Place 1 piece of banana on top of each. Dollop each mini-pie with whipped cream.
  • Garnish with toffee bits and half a banana slice. Keep refrigerated until serving.

Notes

Note: Short on time? Store-bought dulce de leche is available in many grocery stores.
