Memories of Our Irish Vacation
Last spring, we took a trip to Ireland. One of the new dishes we tried was Banoffee Pie. While I was surfing the internet, I found a recipe for Banoffee Pie at eaglebrand.ca. The link to the recipe is Banoffee Pie.
I cheated and used a Tenderflake Pie Crust. Â I find they make a nice lard based crust that is almost as good as hand made. I baked it using the package instructions.
I  boiled the Eagle Brand® Dulce de Leche Caramel Flavoured Sauce for 5 minutes, stirring constantly and poured it into the prebaked crust. I refrigerated it for an hour.
I sliced the bananas over the toffee.
I whipped the cream, sugar and vanilla and spread it over the bananas. I grated some milk chocolate on top.
The Verdict
By using the premade crust, this was incredibly easy. It is similar to the one we had in Ireland and is a tasty different dessert! I will warn you, the toffee layer is very sweet.

My husband got to visit Ireland a couple of months ago on a work assignment and has talked about it ever since. I believe this will be showing up in our dinner rotation very soon.

This sounds delicious! We’d love to share more of your recipes with our networks, but we aren’t able to easily link to recipes directly. Have you considered adding some social media buttons to your web site, so that sharing would be easier for your fans?
Thanks, Mae. I do have social media buttons for the site but not each post. I am a bit of a technical Luddite and need to do some research on how to do that.
