Ingredients
  

For the Crust:
  • 3 cups chocolate wafers or chocolate-covered digestive cookies
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
For the Filling:
  • 1 cup dulce de leche or caramel sauce
  • 2 large ripe bananas sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream chilled
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar or confectioners sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 oz chocolate chips or chunks

Equipment

  • 9-inch pie dish
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Start by crushing your chocolate wafers or chocolate-covered digestive cookies until they resemble fine crumbs. You can use a food processor for this step or place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with the melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the back of a measuring cup or your fingers to ensure it’s compact and even. Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
  4. Once the crust is set, spread the dulce de leche or caramel sauce evenly over the crust. Make sure to cover it completely and let it drizzle down the sides a bit for extra flavor.
  5. Layer the sliced bananas on top of the caramel. Arrange them evenly, so each slice is visible and deliciously appealing.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chilled heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, whip until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip; you want it fluffy, not grainy.
  7. Spread the whipped cream over the bananas, smoothing it out with a spatula. You can also pipe it for a decorative touch if you’re feeling fancy.
  8. Sprinkle the chocolate chips or chunks over the top of the whipped cream. This adds a lovely visual element and extra chocolatey goodness.
  9. Refrigerate the pie for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the pie to set up nicely.

Notes

  • Chill the crust to help it hold its shape.
  • Ensure your cream is very cold for the best whipping results.
  • Use ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor.
