This banana and caramel tart is well worth the wait and requires little actual prep time. I like to use Marie or Shredded Wheatmeal biscuits but just about any sweet plain biscuit works well.
To make the base: blend or crush the biscuits until they are small crumbs. Stir crumbs and melted butter together in a small bowl. Press crumb mixture into the base of a 22cm springform or round cake tin with a removable base. Chill this while you make the filling.
2.
To make the caramel: Carefully immerse the unopened tin of condensed milk in a deep saucepan of water. Bring water to a boil. Simmer for 2 hours, adding water to pot as needed. The milk will turn into a runny caramel sauce. Remove the tin from the water with tongs and allow to cool completely.
3.
Whip the cream, sugar and vanilla until thick.
4.
Spread the caramel sauce from the can over the pie crust base with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
This worked out fine for me-it's basically a glamourous version of a caramel tart but it looks like a lot more effort went into it than did! especially because I used a premade pie shell. The bananas give it a little fruit lift too.
