I want to make banoffee pie tonight but am unsure if I should boil the condensed milk in the can or make a caramel like you do for caramel slice with the butter and golden syrup added to it? Which is better and do they set the same? Planning on doing biscuit base.

I make the caramel in the pan, only cos I find it easier.
For the caramel: 100g (3½oz) butter 100g (3½oz) dark brown soft sugar 397g can Carnation Condensed Milk
place the butter and sugar into a non-stick saucepan over a low heat, stirring until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. Add the condensed milk and bring gently to the boil, stirring continuously to make the caramel. As soon as it thickens, remove from the heat. Spread the filling over the biscuit base, cool, and then leave to chill for about 1 hour, until firm.
That is the recipe I use

Just caramelise the condensed milk in the can and use that. Boil the can in water for an hour and voila you have caramel for banofie pie. No need to add butter or brown sugar.

Are you aware that you can buy caramelised condensed milk already? The manufacturer has done the job for you.

I personally will never buy the made stuff again. I threw the first tin out and made my own after that!

Yeah I am :) But it tastes like crap compared to doing it the other ways I think.
