Ingredients
Instructions
Biscuit Crust
-
Prepare Biscuit Base:
Using a food processor, blitz all the digestive biscuits until they form a fine crumb. Mix in the melted butter until well combined.
-
Press into Tin:
Press the biscuit mixture into the sides and base of a 23cm/9" loose bottomed tart tin. Ensure it's evenly distributed and firmly packed.
Caramel Filling
-
Pour Caramel:
Spread the caramel evenly over the biscuit base, smoothing it out with a spatula.
-
Add Banana Slices:
Slice the bananas into 1cm pieces and arrange them on top of the caramel layer. Press them gently into the caramel.
Whipped Cream Topping
-
Whip Double Cream:
In a separate bowl, whip the double cream with icing sugar until it reaches soft peaks.
-
Decorate:
Pipe or spread the whipped cream over the bananas, covering the entire surface.
-
Add Final Touches:
Sprinkle chocolate curls over the top of the whipped cream for decoration.
Serving
-
Chill:
Refrigerate the banoffee pie for at least 4 hours or until set.
-
Slice and Serve:
Once set, carefully remove the pie from the tin and slice into portions. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Note
- For best results, use ripe but firm bananas to prevent them from becoming too mushy.
- If you prefer a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the caramel layer.
- To enhance the biscuit crust, you can add a touch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the biscuit mixture before pressing it into the tin.
- For a quicker preparation time of the banoffee pie, you can use store-bought caramel sauce instead of making your own.
- Ensure the whipped cream is not over-whipped to avoid it becoming too stiff and difficult to spread.
