Though relatively simple to make and assemble, this multilayered pie makes for an impressive presentation.

Diabetes in a jar. Looks delicious.
very nice mam
Looks so good!
Hi, just a friendly petition for Julia and Bridget to do an "Arsenic and Old Lace" themed Halloween episode. Julia and Bridget could be Abbie and Martha Brewster. Maybe you could showcase an "extra strong" cocktail recipe that Dan Souza simply must try.
Delicious.
She says carmel but she means caramel.
This looks delicious! One thing; I mentioned this recently in an Adam Ragusea video: everything has to be able to stand on its own. Dont leave sugar out of whipped cream because other stuff is too sweet. Make it all good by itself. In his case, he was talking about leaving salt out of pizza crust because other parts had plenty of salt. Thats a recipe for disaster. Same here.
Why isn’t Lan Lam on the cover of the cookbook?
Freeze dried bananas would really speed this up, although fresh bananas are cheaper.😊
Looks delicious but I'm going to use Ghirardelli sea salt caramel because I always manage to flub up my caramel of late. I used to make it easily but this past year it's always failed me, or vice versa 😂
I never thought of simmering bananas, I like that! I have bananas in my freezer for smoothies so I'll definitely use them in this recipe.
Nice to see your doggo get a treat, Julia 🫶🏼
so this is the American version of Banoffee pie
How could you. I'm not eating sugars, I wonder if Alulose is a good replacement in this recipe.
Corn starch and corn flour is the same?? Is it correct? Thanks 🙏
You stir fry bananas, Add half and half cream and simmer it for some time and then cool it for 45 minutes and then add in the egg mixture????? Is it correct.

So much sugar…
My Gma made something similar with Vanilla cookies… I prefer the cookies sogged out at least over night. But I love soft chewy cookies. If you like crispy cookies, assemble these jar pies to order. 💕🌞🌵😷
Thanks, Julia. My husband–the banana freak–would love this. ❤
I love that recipe. It looks so good and relatively easy to make. It doesn't outshine your smiling face, though.
Throw some Nutter-Butter crumbles on those too!!
Gild the lily with rum in the whip cream and/or caramel sauce. Does ATK have a go to caramel rum sauce recipe?
Yum-o!
Miss Richardson's caramel sauce is really good
😋🤗LOOKS DELICIOUS 😋🤗
So yummy!
Really if you don’t like it don’t watch it. Stop complaining when you are choosing to watch!!
More fattening recipes coming to us from overweight cooks.
Thank you for showing the dog getting a treat. When he shows up but isn't shown getting a treat it REALLY stresses me out.
What is the difference between custard and pudding ?
a little bit of cocoa powder on top would make it a perfect banoffee pie.
Why not just wash out the saucepan? Some of us have a minimum of pans.
one of my top two cream pies
Who is the artist of the artwork on the wall? Love it!
that was so cute that the dog likes graham crackers <3 the recipe looks good. and the tiny mason jars are so cute
that looks amazing… absolutely trying this
This looks very good! So happy to see the dog get a treat. 🐾
Delicious ! Thank you ! ❤❤❤
Grams aee more accurate
.5 cup + 2 tablespoon sugar = buy a scale and measure by weight like a sane person 😉
Ah, yes, the "half a cup plus two tablespoons plus an eight of a teaspoon" problem only Americans have cause they refuse to weigh anything. Wake up, people, join the real world and use a scale.
I’ll be on the next plane.
Diabetes type 2 just leveld up to type 3, but damn that must be delicious.
I actually eat unrepentant (unripened) bananas! So usually everything banana flavored doesn’t taste good to me. I’ve even had the Famous Banana Cream Pie at Frank Fats in downtown Sacramento I didn’t like that either. Oh well. Julia I’m going to try this recipe with unripe bananas to see how it comes out. I love to make homemade caramel sauce! It’s so easy. Thanks for the recipe!
I don't want the cook feeding the dog while making my desert
Yummy, looks delicious
Delicious AND simple…cant beat that…TFS!
One suggestion for ATK–I realize that most of your audience is in the U.S., but it would be nice if the ingredients could be verbalized in weights as well. eg, "A half a cup or 100g of sugar". Weighing ingredients is not only more accurate, it's easier to do and you get fewer utensils dirty.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Very beautiful and yummy ❤❤❤
