Fluffy Bananas Foster Pie

Fluffy Bananas Foster Pie

1 (14-ounce) can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 c. banana, sliced
4 slices of Sara Lee pound cake, cut into 1/2" cubes
1/4 c. caramel ice cream topping
1 (8 oz.) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 (6 oz.) graham cracker pie crust

1. Mix together sweetened condensed milk and caramel topping in large bowl until blended.
2. Stir in bananas and pound cake.
3. Have someone taste it...
4. Fold in whipped topping. Spoon into crust.
5. Freeze 5 hours or until set.
6. Let stand 30 to 40 minutes before serving.
7. Garnish with additional caramel topping and banana slices.

NOTES:

• This pie did not set up well because I didn't have it in the freezer long enough before serving, and that was a BIG mistake.
  
• Also, I think I should have used an electric mixer to beat the sweetened condensed milk and caramel topping so that it would maybe fluff up some more.
  
• And don't let your Cool Whip get too warm—I think that was also a factor in the lack of volume in this pie.
• I would also suggest putting the mixed ingredients into the fridge or even the freezer prior to filling the pie crust, to help it set up partially, and build more volume.
• Another option I thought of was to saute the bananas in the caramel sauce before adding them to the pie, but you'd have to be sure to let them cool off first.
