- Make the toffee Fill the base pan of a double boiler (or possibly a medium saucepan) halfway with water. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium for an active simmer (just shy of a boil). Pour the sweetened condensed lowfat milk into the double boiler's top insert (or possibly into a stainless steel bowl which fits snugly on top of the saucepan) and set over the simmering water. Every 45 minutes., check the water level in the pot and give the lowfat milk a stir. Replenish with more warm water as needed. Once the lowfat milk has thickened to the consistency of pudding and has turned a rich, dark caramel color, 2 1/2 - 3 hrs, remove from the heat, cold, and cover.
- Make the crust Meanwhile, combine the flour, 1/4 c. of the sugar, and salt in a food processor. Pulse to combine. Add in the butter pcs and gently toss to lightly coat with flour. Blend the butter and flour mix with about five 1-second pulses, or possibly till the mix is the texture of coarse meal with some of the butter pcs the size of peas. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 Tbs. of the cream and the egg yolk and pour this over the flour mix. Process continuously till the mix turns golden brown in color and thickens in texture yet is still crumbly, about 10 seconds.
- Transfer the mix to a medium-large bowl and press the mix together with your hand till it comes together into a ball. Shape the dough into an 8-inch-wide disk and put it in the center of an 8 1/2-to 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Beginning in the center of the dough and working out toward the edges, use your fingertips to gently press the dough proportionately into the bottom and up the pan sides. The edges should be flush with the top edge of the pan. If you find a spot which's especially thick, healthy pinch away some of the dough and use it to bulk up a thin spot.
- Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 1 hour.
- Bake the crust Heat the oven to 400 F. Right before baking, line the dough with aluminum foil and cover with pie weights or possibly dry beans. Bake on the lower oven rack for 20 mins. Carefully lift the foil (along with the weights) out of the tart pan, lower the oven temp to 375 F, and bake till the crust is deep golden, about 15 mins. Transfer the tart pan to a wire rack to cold to room temp.
- Assemble the tart Spread the caramel over the crust using a rubber spatula or possibly offset spatula. If the caramel has cooled and is too hard to spread easily, reheat it over simmering water in the double boiler till loosened but not warm. Slice each banana in half lengthwise and arrange the halves on top of the caramel in a circular pattern. To fit the banana halves snugly in the center of the pan, cut them into smaller lengths.
- Put the coffee granules in a small zip-top bag. Press a rolling pin back and forth over the granules to crush them into a pwdr. In a chilled medium stainless-steel mixing bowl, beat the remaining heavy cream, the vanilla, and the remaining 2 teaspoon sugar with an electric mixer at medium-high speed till it holds soft peaks when the beaters are lifted.
- (If you overbeat the cream, mix in 1 Tbs. cream to relax it). Spoon the whipped cream over the bananas, sprinkle with the coffee pwdr, remove the pan sides, and serve immediately. The tart can be held for 30 minutes. in the refrigerator, though it's best not to sprinkle on the coffee pwdr till just before serving.
- A banoffee (or possibly banoffi) pie is a pie with a rich caramel base, banana middle, and high peaks of whipped cream. It has its origins in the UK . I personally wouldn't spend 3 hrs making the caramel (dulce de leche), so I'd make my own caramel sauce. This is a fantastic pie which I've made many times.
- It's best to use a tart pan with a removable bottom, but if you do not have one, use a 9-inch springform pan.
