Toffee in a Can

I have made a remarkable discovery: Sweetened condensed milk can transform into toffee with the help of a pot of boiling water. IT IS SO GOOD. This is Ryan’s new favorite. There are so many things you can do with this can of sweet goodness. I kind of followed a recipe called “Banoffee Danger Pie” from another blog. 

We start with the sweetened condensed milk. All you have to do is take the label off the can and stick in a pot of boiling water, cover it and boil for 2.5 hours. I usually do three cans at a time. 

The rest is fast and easy! I used a premade crust, but the time that I made my own crust it made a difference. If you need to make something fast for the lady’s club tonight, I’d use the premade crust. Cut three bananas up and place them at the bottom. Pour your toffee can on top and spread it evenly over the bananas (I don’t use the whole can because a thick layer makes the pie too rich and messy). Put it in the fridge for a half hour or more, so the pie can set. Then plop your whip cream on top, spread around and for a more elegant look, you can grate chocolate shavings on the top. WA-LA! I’m so glad I found this recipe. Check out this on the blog Brooklyn Limestone blog. It has a lot of other great stuff.
