1 Cup Milk
⅓ Cup Sugar
1½ Teaspoons Vanilla
¾ Cup Heavy Cream

8 Ounces Non-Dairy Whipped Topping

3. Slice remaining ripe banana and place on top of filling (shown below).

4. Cover bananas and pie filling with the whipped topping and toffee bits (pictured above). Refrigerate until ready to serve.
