Instructions
Prepare the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and optional sugar in a bowl until well combined. Press evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
Make the caramel: In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter and stir in the brown sugar until smooth. Add the sweetened condensed milk and stir constantly. Raise heat to medium-high and bring to a gentle boil, continuing to stir for about 1 minute until thickened and golden.
Assemble base: Remove the chilled crust from the fridge and pour the hot caramel over it, smoothing into an even layer. Return to the fridge and cool for at least 1 hour, until set.
Make the whipped cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.
Assemble the pie: Slice the bananas and arrange evenly on top of the cooled caramel layer. Spread the whipped cream over the bananas, covering them completely.
Finish and garnish: Sprinkle chocolate shavings or dust with cocoa powder, if desired. Chill until ready to serve.
Notes
Add a light squeeze of lemon juice to banana slices if preparing ahead to help prevent browning.
Store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the crust and caramel layer only; add bananas and whipped cream after thawing.
