We're having a bit of a dinner/birthday party for my OH's Gran Saturday night & I've offered to make dessert.  I'm thinking of doing Banoffe Pie, I used to make it years ago but I can't remember how long you have to boil the condensed milk for before it turns to caramel?! I've done a few seraches before posting & it seems to be between 3 & 4 hours??? I don't remember it being this long!  How long will it stay workable e.g. able to spread over the base in the unopened boiled can?

Any help appreciated!

You can now buy Toffee sauce, which has been boiled already, its great, I use it all the time, you can get in on the shelves beside the condensed milk, then all i do is spread over the buscuit base when hard, then add my banana's and cream folded together, then sprinkle or grate choc on the top.

I didn't know you could buy that, thanks! Which stores stock? it?

Tesco's, asda most larger stores, thats where I buy it from.

if you pm me where you are i can try and check your local tesco if you want

Found the caramel stuff - thanks for the help, saved me tons of time & the pie went down a treat!

Any spare?? lol

LOL!
I made a banoffee pie last year and I must admit I went down the boiling route as I had the time that day, and it was just for experimenting really. It did turn out lovely and was easily spreadable I will say - and so yummy erm I ate rather a lot of the second can I'd done just in case (where's the blush emoticon!!?)

Made a biscuit base with hob nobs, chucked the banana slices on that, then spread on the caramel and topped with whipped cream and pecans. YUM..!!!

Glad yours turned out so well and that you enjoyed it :)
