1. 1. Prepare the Crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Chill this crust for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator. This helps it set.

2. 2. Add Dulce de Leche: Spread the entire can of dulce de leche evenly over the chilled crust. Use an offset spatula for easy spreading. This forms the rich base of your no-bake banoffee pie.

3. 3. Layer Bananas: Arrange the sliced bananas in an even layer over the dulce de leche. Cover the entire surface.

4. 4. Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, combine cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.

5. 5. Top and Chill: Spread the whipped cream over the banana layer. Swirl it decoratively. Refrigerate the easy banoffee pie for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely.

6. 6. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish your easy no-bake banoffee pie with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder. Slice and enjoy this fantastic simple banoffee pie!
