Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 300 g digestive biscuits
- 150 g unsalted butter or baking spread, melted
Filling
- 375 g caramel sauce (see notes)
- 2-3 large bananas, sliced about 1 cm thick
Topping
- 450 ml double cream
- 50 g icing sugar
- 25 g chocolate curls
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Crush the digestive biscuits finely using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Mix the crushed biscuits thoroughly with the melted butter until all crumbs are evenly coated.
- Form the base: Press the biscuit mixture firmly and evenly into the base and slightly up the sides of a 23cm (9 inch) loose-bottomed tart tin or springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to set.
- Add the caramel: Spread the caramel sauce evenly over the chilled biscuit base. Make sure the caramel layer is smooth and covers the entire surface.
- Layer the bananas: Arrange the banana slices evenly across the caramel layer, covering the entire surface.
- Whip the cream: In a large bowl, whip the double cream together with the icing sugar until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip as it can become too stiff.
- Top the pie: Spread the whipped cream gently over the banana layer, creating an even, smooth topping.
- Decorate: Sprinkle the chocolate curls over the top of the cream for a decorative and tasty finish.
- Chill before serving: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and the pie to set perfectly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- This banoffee pie is a no-bake dessert, making it quick and easy to prepare while still delivering rich, satisfying flavors.
- You can use store-bought caramel sauce or make your own for a more homemade touch.
- Choose bananas that are ripe but firm so they hold their shape well on the pie.
- For added texture, you can sprinkle some crushed nuts on top along with the chocolate curls if desired.
- Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
