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!

Step 1 - Making the base
1. Make sure the digestive biscuits are crushed to breadcrumbs.

2. 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.

3. Chill this in your fridge/freezer for ten minutes and continue to Step 2.

Step 2 - Making the Caramel
1. Melt the butter and sugar into a non-stick pan over a low heat.

2. Stir this continually until all the sugar has dissolved.

3. Add the condensed milk and bring this to the boil for about a minute. Stir this all the time to get a thick golden caramel.

4. Spread the caramel over the now firm base, and then leave to chill for an hour.

Step 3 - Garnishing & 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.
