Try it!

Oh, dear God, it's food porn! And dessert porn at that!

Oh, the humanity! Yes, I made a pie over the weekend, and I documented it, and I intend to subject you to it. For those of you who like good pie, get out your notebooks, people, 'cause you're going to want to make this one. You will start with two large bananas, two cans of sweetened condensed milk (yes, I know only one is pictured - the two for the recipe are undergoing the treatment that turns them into this delicious treat), and a packet of graham crackers. (Sometimes called a sleeve -- it shoudl be 8 to 12 graham crackers.) You will also need about a half stick of butter (not pictured):


The first thing you need to do is take two cans of sweetened condensed milk, remove the labels (so it won't get messy) and boil those suckers for about three hours. Maybe four.


While that shit is going on, you need to make a graham cracker crust. I will not jack you up too bad if you buy one, but, really, you should make your own. Start with that sleeve of graham crackers. Melt a half stick of butter:


Totally crush the graham crackers in the blender or food processor until they are nice, fine crumbs:


Slap those suckers in a bowl:


and pour that melted butter in:



Mix it up right, people. If the butter is not enough, you can add a teeny tiny bit of water to make the crumbs stick together. Then you need to line a pie pan with the crumbs, like so:


Bake that crust at 350 for about 10 minutes. Some recipes say don't bake the crust. Both work. Up to you. Assuming you didn't buy a crust and short-circuit the whole argument. Fucking Philistine. I never said this blog would not judge you. But I digress.

While your stuff is boiling, slice those bananas. Once you have reached the 3 (or 4) hour mark, go ahead and pull the sweetened condensed milk from the boiling water.


When you open those cans, be careful -- they are under pressure and have a tendency to squirt. Keep your face clear.

Anyway, pour a can of the condensed milk into a bowl:


Toss in half of the slice bananas:


Mix it up right, then pour in the second can of condensed milk and the other sliced banana. Mix it up right:


Put that stuff in the pie crust and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Then eat the living shit out of it:

Holy banana pie Batman that looks yummy--but isn't boiling those cans a little bit dangerous?

No danger, unless you try to open them with your teeth. I did redecorate a wall a little bit with the first one -- it squirted.
