Equipment

  • - Blender (for creating caramel sauce): A high-powered blender capable of smoothly mixing and blending ingredients to create a creamy and rich banana flavored caramel.

  • - Mixing Bowl (large size): Essential for combining wet and dry ingredients, perfect for assembling the crumb base or whipping up filling components.

  • - Pie Dish (9-inch): The quintessential bakeware for forming your banana delight into a delicious dessert pie shape.

  • - Pastry Brush: Useful for applying melted butter to the crust or for glazing, ensuring a golden finish and preventing sogginess from fruit juices.

  • - Rolling Pin (wooden): For evenly rolling out your pastry dough into the perfect thickness, which is crucial for an even bake.

  • - Cooling Rack: Essential after baking to let your pie cool down properly on a rack above the counter or table, avoiding sogginess and making it easier to slice.

  • - Electric Whisk (stand): For whipping cream to stiff peaks, providing that perfect dollop for crowning your creation.

  • - Measuring Cups and Spoons: Accurate measurements are key in baking; these help ensure you're adding the correct amounts of ingredients for a consistent texture and taste.

  • - Spatula (wooden or rubber): Useful for mixing, spreading fillings, and ensuring your pie crust is evenly filled without tearing it.

  • - Food Processor (optional): While not mandatory, you could use a food processor to finely chop nuts for the base if desired, or to blend ingredients smoothly when making elements like caramel sauce or whipped cream.

Bake, refilling pan to halfway with water about every 40 minutes, until milk is thick and a deep golden caramel color, about 2 hours.
