SO GOOD! After making this today, I am seriously offended that this pie is not more popular in the States. It is a tragic miscarriage of justice/taste. And it’s so incredibly easy to put together (after boiling/cooling the can, anyway, but that only requires time–virtually no effort)!
Will be making this again and again!

You can call it dulce de leche or you can call it toffee. I’m just gonna call it delicious. I had everything on hand to make this so I just went for it. I had absolutely no problems with boiling the cans and the toffee filling turned out beautifully. I’ve never had Banoffee Pie before but we are hooked now. Everyone loved it, including the kiddos!

Thanks! I think I’ll try the crockpot recipe soon and see how that works. It looks so yummy!

Hi Starving! I usually just put the cans in the water then bring it up to a boil. Keep the water boiling the entire time. This is why I do a few cans at one time because it does use up a bit of energy to keep the water boiling. I have been told that the premade cans of dulce de leche work well with this recipe if you didn’t want to boil the cans for that long a period of time. Also, I’ve heard of some people using their crock pots. Put the cans in the crock pot at night and cover with water. In the morning, take cans out and they should have the same results. I haven’t actually tried that yet but it seems like it should work. Let me know how it turns out for you!

I researched the concept of boiling the cans and saw lots of different answers. After the water comes to a boil, do you then add the can? Or do you put it in the water before the water boils? After the can is in the water, do you leave it at a high boil or do you turn the heat down? Thanks! So excited to try this yummy looking pie!

Jeri – thanks so much for the great comments and the comparison between the boiled sweetened condensed milk & pre-made, canned dulce de leche. I was curious how it would turn out. Glad you’re enjoying this so much!

Okay – we’ve had this dessert twice in the last 4 days! After reading some of the other comments, I decided to try it with the Dulce de Leche (I had a can in the pantry). Must say it turned out nicely as well. But the original recipe has just a little “something extra”, so when time permits, I’ll boil my own Eagle Brand. Thanks again, you’re a rock star!
