Traditional Banoffee Pie

If you don't know what Banoffee Pie is, basically it is a layered pie made of biscuit crumbs, heated butter caramel & banana.

It makes a lovely dessert for a dinner party, or perhaps a British Themed Party as that is it's origin. So god save the queen here comes the recipe!

Base

 * 100g butter, melted
 * 250g digestive biscuits, crushed

Caramel

 * 100g butter
 * 100g soft dark brown sugar
 * 400g condensed milk

Topping

 * 4 small bananas
 * whipping cream
 * grated chocolate

Base

 * 1) Have a baking tin, bowl, non-stick pan and wooden spoon ready.
 * 2) Make sure the digestive biscuits are crushed to breadcrumbs.
 * 3) Tip all the breadcrumbs into the baking tin, then use a spoon to create a pie shell across the bottom and around the sides of the tin.
 * 4) Chill this in your fridge/freezer for ten minutes and continue to the caramel.

Caramel

 * 1) Melt the butter and sugar into a non-stick pan over low heat.
 * 2) Stir this continuously until all the sugar has dissolved.
 * 3) Add the condensed milk and bring this to a boil for about a minute. Stir this until a thick golden caramel forms.
 * 4) Spread the caramel over the now firm base, and then leave to chill for an hour.

Garnishing and Finishing

 * 1) After the hour chilling, remove the pie from the tin carefully and place it on your serving plate.
 * 2) Slice the bananas into small chunks.
 * 3) Create a layer of bananas on top of the caramel.
 * 4) Spread the whipped cream on top so it covers the layer of bananas.

Tips

 * Make sure that you boil the filling for at least a minute to get a nice texture.
 * A great garnish is Pecans to go on top of the whipped cream.
