Equipment

Kitchen Scale (optional)
Pie Pan
Hand Mixer

Ingredients

1½ cups graham cracker crumbs 213 grams (about 14 cracker sheets)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter 71 grams, melted (⅝ stick)
2 cups heavy whipping cream 454 grams, very cold (1 pint)
¼ cup powdered sugar 28 grams
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 4 grams
3-4 bananas sliced
13.4 ounces dulce de leche 380 grams, warmed slightly (1 can), such as Nestlé La Lechera
Chocolate sauce optional, for garnish

Instructions

Mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter together in a medium bowl until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan, using the bottom of a flat cup to press it down tightly. Place the crust in the freezer for at least 15 minutes to set.
1½ cups graham cracker crumbs, 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
Pour the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Using a hand mixer, whip on medium-high speed for 3-5 minutes, until medium peaks form. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to use.
2 cups heavy whipping cream, ¼ cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Spread a single layer of banana slices into the bottom of the pie crust, then pour the dulce de leche over them, spreading it in an even layer. Arrange the remaining bananas in layers on top of the dulce de leche. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the bananas.
3-4 bananas, 13.4 ounces dulce de leche
Refrigerate the pie, uncovered, for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours. Garnish with chocolate sauce before serving, if desired.

Notes

In place of the graham crackers, you can use digestive biscuits or Biscoff cookies.
You can use salted butter in place of unsalted.
Feel free to use store-bought or homemade dulce de leche, but do NOT use caramel sauce. It will not set properly!
Garnish this pie with chocolate sauce, chocolate sprinkles, or shaved chocolate!
Feel free to sprinkle some chopped nuts or toffee bits on top.
To make graham cracker crumbs, blitz graham crackers in a food processor or add them to a sealed Ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
If you're worried about the banana slices browning, brush them with a bit of lemon juice.
Evenly cover all of the banana slices with whipped cream; this will also help prevent browning.
Make sure the whipped cream is whipped to medium-stiff peaks to avoid a runny pie.
Let the pie chill for at least 2 hours before serving. This will help the filling to set up, leading to neater slices.
