Ingredients
Instructions
- Cover the can of Eagle Brand milk with water and boil for 3 hours to caramelize.
- Slice bananas and arrange them in the baked pie shell.
- Pour the caramelized Eagle Brand over the sliced bananas in the pie shell.
- Top with whipped cream before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
To achieve a rich flavor, ensure the Eagle Brand milk is boiled for the full 3 hours to caramelize properly. If you're short on time, you can use store-bought caramel sauce as a substitute. For a firmer pie, chill it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before serving. Fresh bananas are best, but feel free to use frozen if necessary, just ensure they are thawed and drained.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie chilled, topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream for added richness. This dessert pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a side of fresh berries for a refreshing contrast. For a delightful twist, consider serving it alongside Schumann'S Frozen Chocolate Pie for a dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain the texture, add the whipped cream just before serving. If you need to reheat, do so gently in the microwave, ensuring not to overheat, which can change the consistency of the caramel and bananas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk for caramelizing?
While Eagle Brand milk is recommended for its sweetness and texture, you can use sweetened condensed coconut milk for a dairy-free version. The flavor will differ slightly, but it can still yield a delicious outcome.
How can I make this pie more visually appealing?
To enhance the presentation, consider garnishing with chocolate shavings or adding a sprinkle of crushed nuts on top of the whipped cream. Fresh mint leaves also make a lovely garnish that adds color and freshness to the dish.
Is there a way to make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the caramelized milk and assemble the pie a day in advance. Just store it without the whipped cream and bananas until you're ready to serve. Add the bananas and whipped cream just before serving to keep everything fresh.
