Banoffee Pie

Steps

• 1

  Preheat oven to 425°F. Pour both cans sweetened condensed milk into a pie plate. Cover plate tightly with foil. Place pie plate in center of a rimmed oven-safe pan or baking sheet. Pour boiling water into pan, enough to reach halfway up the sides of the pie plate. Bake until milk is thick and golden brown and becomes toffee, about 2 hours, adding more boiling water to the pan every half-hour to keep it at the halfway mark.

  Meanwhile, bake the crust: Heat oven to 450°F. Press pie crust evenly into the bottom and sides of an ungreased pie plate; poke bottom and sides with a fork. Bake crust until golden brown and set, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven; cool completely on cooling rack.
