Description:

A scrumptious British dessert, Classic British Banoffee Pie combines the rich flavours of banana and toffee in a buttery biscuit base, crowned with a luscious layer of whipped cream. This sweet treat, a blend of bananas and toffee (hence 'banoffee'), is a classic in British cafes and households.

Ingredients:

Servings

300
digestive biscuits, crushed
150
unsalted butter, melted
100
dark brown sugar
100
unsalted butter
 (for toffee)
397
can of condensed milk
4
 
ripe bananas
30
ml 
double cream
 
Grated chocolate or cocoa powder, for garnish

Cooking Instructions:

Combine crushed digestive biscuits with 150g melted butter. Press into the base and sides of a 23cm pie dish. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
For the toffee, melt 100g butter and brown sugar in a non-stick saucepan over low heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Add the condensed milk and bring to a rapid boil for about a minute, stirring continuously. The mixture will thicken.
Pour the toffee over the biscuit base. Cool and then chill for about 1 hour, until firm.
Slice the bananas and place on top of the cooled toffee.
Whip the double cream until soft peaks form, and spread over the bananas.
Sprinkle with grated chocolate or a dusting of cocoa powder.

To Serve:

Cut into slices and serve chilled for a deliciously sweet finish to any meal.

Notes:

  • The pie can be made a day in advance and kept in the fridge.
  • For a crunchier base, you can mix in some chopped nuts with the biscuits.
