Ingredients
  

For the Shell:

  • 6 ounces unsalted butter melted
  • 10 ounces graham crackers or digestive biscuits crushed to a fine powder (I used McVitie's Digestives),

For the Filling:

  • 15 ounces dulce de leche (I used Gaucho Ranch's dulce de leche)
  • 2 - 4 bananas sliced
  • Lemon juice just a little to keep the bananas from discoloring

To Top it Off:

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons very strong coffee mixed with 1 tablespoon sugar, cooled (optional)
  • Cocoa powder for dusting
  • Grated or curled dark chocolate to decorate

Instructions
 

  • Lightly butter an 8 - 9 inch tart pan (preferably with a removable bottom, or you can use a springform pan).
  • Melt the butter over low heat or in the microwave, cool.
  • In a food processor, add the graham crackers or Digestives Biscuits and pulse until you have a fine crumb. Alternatively, place the crackers in a zipper plastic bag and bash away or roll with a rolling pin.
  • Pour the cooled, melted butter into the processor and mix until well combined with the cracker crumbs.
  • Transfer to the buttered tart pan, pressing down evenly across the bottom and up the sides.
  • Place the tart pan into the refrigerator for at least 15 - 30 minutes to allow the shell to firm up.
  • Once the shell is ready, spoon the dulce de leche and spread evenly.
  • Top the dulce de leche with sliced bananas that have been lightly tossed with lemon juice to prevent them from discoloring. Two large bananas should evenly cover the dulce de leche. If you desire a more banana flavor, add up to 2 more sliced Bananas.
  • Place pie in the refrigerator to keep cool while you make the whipped cream.
  • In a mixer, add the whipping cream, start off on low, then increase the speed to medium, whipping until soft peaks form.
  • If you are using the sweetened coffee to flavor the cream, fold in to swirl it into the cream.
  • Now all you need to do is add the whipped cream over the bananas, and top off with a dusting of cocoa powder and grated or curled chocolate if desired.
  • Keep in the fridge until ready to serve.

Notes

Can keep covered for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
If you prefer to sweeten your whipped cream, you can add in 2 Tbls Sugar along with the whipping cream, and whisk until soft peaks form. I do not add sugar, as I find that when blended with the dulce de leche and sweetened coffee, it is plenty sweet.
