12 Days of Cozy Bakes – Banana Toffee Pie

https://youtu.be/7qawVL_w3zY

Nothing Bundt Trouble may be the latest book in the series (at least until 12/29, that is!), but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t get equal requests for recipes. 📧 

I’ve had many people ask about this Banana Toffee Pie that Will and Helen Capshaw create for opening night of the newest theater in town (circa the 1980s), The Cabaret. True story, we have season tickets to the Oregon Cabaret here in Ashland and they made something similar to this pie for a show a few years ago. I fell in love with it and knew I wanted to try to recreate it for the book. The brown sugar in the pudding gives it a caramel flavor, and let’s face it you can’t go wrong with a layer of toffee! 🍌😋

Banana Toffee Pie from Nothing Bundt Trouble

Ingredients:
For the pudding:
1 ¾ cups milk
2 tsps vanilla
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup white sugar
1 tbsp butter
3 egg yolks (whisked together)
2 tbsps cornstarch
½ tsp salt
¼ cup flour
3 bananas

For the toffee sauce:
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup butter
½ tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla

1 prepared pie crust (pre-baked)
Whipped cream for topping

Directions:
Whisk milk, butter, sugars, and vanilla in a saucepan on medium heat until well combined. Slowly incorporate eggs and bring to heat. Then add cornstarch and flour. Whisk and turn heat to high. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly for 3-5 minutes or until pudding thickens. Transfer to a bowl, cover with a piece of plastic wrap, and cool in the refrigerator.

While the pudding cools make the toffee sauce by combining cream, sugar, butter, salt, and vanilla in a saucepan. Heat on medium allowing the sugar to melt. Then turn heat up to medium high and stir frequently until sauce thickens and becomes a dark golden brown. Pour sauce into the prepared crust. Layer with sliced bananas. Spread pudding over the top and finish with whipped cream.
