Paula Deen Banoffee Pie -- CARRIE SHERIDAN

"a delicious British pie - banana cream pie WITH sticky toffee... on a crumb or nut crumb crust... what's not to LOVE?! can use just 1 can of sweetened condensed milk. can use 4 bananas. the SAVEUR recipe adds dark brown sugar to only one can of the sweetened condensed milk to make the toffee filling. Can add just a touch of bourbon - to either the whipped cream or the toffee filling. also can add just a splash of amaretto..."
