Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the base
  • 200 g digestive biscuits crushed
  • 100 g unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the caramel
  • 80 g unsalted butter
  • 80 g dark brown sugar
  • 397 g can condensed milk
For the topping
  • 2 bananas sliced
  • 300 ml double cream whipped
  • 10 g dark chocolate
Optional
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons icing sugar

Method
 

  1. Mix the crushed biscuits with the melted butter and salt until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into a 23 cm removable base flan tin using the back of a spoon. Chill for 30 minutes if you have time.
  2. In a small non-stick saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and dark brown sugar together, stirring continuously. Once the sugar has dissolved, add the condensed milk.
  3. Increase the heat to medium and continue stirring. Let the caramel bubble rapidly for about 1 minute until thick and golden.
  4. Spoon the caramel into the biscuit base and smooth it out evenly. Chill for at least 1 hour.
  5. Top with sliced bananas, then spread or pipe the whipped cream over the top. If using, mix the cream with vanilla extract and icing sugar before spreading.
  6. Finish with dark chocolate shavings and serve.

Notes

Banoffee pie is not subtle. It doesn’t pretend to be light. It’s crunchy, gooey, creamy, and unapologetically sweet.
Sometimes that’s exactly what you need.
