Any recipes you guys recommend?
Need some help from bongs (or anyone else who has made this with success). I'm a shitty cook but tried making this because it looks really tasty.
Here is the recipe I tried, it sucked (or I fucked it up?)
http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Banoffee-Pie-Classic
Melted some butter
Added the brown sugar
Stirred until it blended. My brown sugar was that goofy thick granular nature shit so probably not ideal
Added the condensed milk. Needed a bigger pan just made it
After boiling it I poured it into pre made crust since didnt have "digestive biscuits" at my market. Guess I need to amazon those.
Copped it in the fridge
Bananas sliced, whipped cream and shaved some chocolate.

Cooled*
And it sucked. Way too much toffee, just too rich. Also I think I fucked up making the toffee because it was too liquid. Maybe didn't boil it enough?
Edible but not great. Time to try again.
Suggestions?

just remove the label and submerge the whole can in a pot of water and keep it on the boil for 2.5hrs
remove from water, drape with tea towel, open can
it's already toffee

You are supposed to wait for cream and toffee to settle and solidify

This is how you fucked up.

oh boy...
you need to keep the condensed milk boiling longer and keep stirring it and add some gelatine

Graham crackers are equivalent.

You have to let it thicken longer before putting it in the graham cracker crust. It's true of all custards.

While boiling? Or in the fridge? I thought once it was cooled that was about as thick as it gets and that how I screwed up was not boiling it enough

>two hours
You are supposed to let it set overnight you mong.

After boiling, letting it set in the pot or another bowl until it's lukewarm should be long enough to feel it resist more with a wooden spoon.

I had a hearty chuckle.
I love when amateur cooks just throw in the towel, it's amazingly funny.
Why are Americans so fucking retarded?

yep, sure sounds like hes giving up
looks like a tasty pie, will research with you op.
seems like the main thing is too much toffee. the picture you have in your op has more whip cream, and just above the crust has more bananas, then just a thin layer of toffee which is probably a better route that the recipe you used.
