Banoffee Pie


This dessert is one of my all-time favourites and is such a crowd-pleaser.  It's surprisingly easy to make and is SOOOO delicious!

I love this method of making the caramel - it turns out so sticky and sweet, and is so much tastier than using tinned caramel.  Next time you're out to impress, definitely try Banoffee Pie!


Ingredients:
100g butter, melted
250g Nice biscuits

Caramel:
100g butter
100g brown sugar
397g tin condensed milk

Topping:
3 bananas
300mL cream
cocoa powder

Process biscuits in a food processor until fine, then add butter and combine.  Press into the base and sides of an 8 inch springform tin.

Make the caramel - put butter and sugar in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until butter melts and sugar dissolves.  Add condensed milk and gently bring to the boil, stirring continuously until thick.  Spread over the biscuit base, then chill for about an hour, until firm.

Whip the cream, then fold in sliced bananas.  Spread it over the caramel.  Dust with cocoa.

Oh my! It was probably a mistake to remind me of Banoffee Pie... I have to try your method, it sounds even better than the recipe I normally use. Loving your blog, I come here a lot! :)
