Ingredients
  • 300 grams Digestive biscuits
  • 150 grams unsalted butter, melted
  • 375 grams caramel
  • 2 large bananas, sliced (1cm)
  • 450 milliliters double cream
  • 50 grams icing sugar
  • 25 grams chocolate curls
Instructions
    Biscuit Crust
  1. 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.

  2. 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.

    3. Caramel Filling
  3. Pour Caramel:

    Spread the caramel evenly over the biscuit base, smoothing it out with a spatula.

  4. Add Banana Slices:

    Slice the bananas into 1cm pieces and arrange them on top of the caramel layer. Press them gently into the caramel.

    5. Whipped Cream Topping
  5. Whip Double Cream:

    In a separate bowl, whip the double cream with icing sugar until it reaches soft peaks.

  6. Decorate:

    Pipe or spread the whipped cream over the bananas, covering the entire surface.

  7. Add Final Touches:

    Sprinkle chocolate curls over the top of the whipped cream for decoration.

    8. Serving
  8. Chill:

    Refrigerate the banoffee pie for at least 4 hours or until set.

  9. 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.
