Yes. Hold on.

ETA: No. Much to my annoyance and dismay I think my recipe books have been packed.

Sorry!

Oh my mum makes something really easy and yummo with the caramel condensed filling stuff

I'll find out tomorrow what it is hun and let you know!

Oh its got bananas on it too...

**Nelle** · September 2nd, 2009, 10:28 PM

Oh! I have that recipe in one of the books I have left! Is it Banoffee Pie?

It's basically Caramel (so you could use a tin, or make it with sweetened condensed milk, butter and sugar like my recipe says), with banana and whipped cream on top.

If you want that recipe, send me an email at my BB address and I'll scan it and email it to you, cos I'm too lazy to type it out.

The other recipes in this book with a pie base are lemon meringue pie and lime chiffon pie and pecan pie and almond pear flan.

Thanks a million " Nelle " for that, i soooo appreciate it ... and your such a busy buzzy bee tonight

" Madi " oh that would be awesome, YES ask ya Mum i would soooo love to know THAT recipe too

For Banoffee Pie you boil the can of condensed milk til it's caramel or use the caramel one which is probably safer, the tins have been known to explode when boiling

pour it into the pie crust when the caramel condensed milk is cold

slice bananas and put it over the top of the caramel

Top with whipped cream.

It's YUMMO!

I think it's Banoffee Tart

Same as the others have said!

Mum gets the Caramel Top'n'Fill, fills up the case, chucks whipped cream and sliced bananas on top!

Yummo! And so easy!

Mmmmm....think i'll have to make it tonight!

When we have sweet pastry shells we make Lime Tart.

It is sooooooooo easy. You mix 1 can of condensed milk with the juice of 2 limes and the finely grated zest of 1. Something in the limes makes the condensed milk set and it is so yummy.
