Banoffee Pie
Ingredients
| 4 large | ripe bananas |
| 450 ml | condensed milk |
| 350 g | chocolate digestive biscuits |
| 400 ml | whipping cream |
| 2 tbsp | butter |
| cocoa powder for dusting |
Method
Preparation time: ca. 30 min Resting time: ca. 2 hrs / Grade of difficulty: easy / Calories per portion: n/a
Crush the biscuits or whizz in a blender until reduced to crumbs.
Gently heat the butter until melted. Then combine with the biscuit crumbs until a mixture forms.
Using a flan dish – about 20 cm - spoon the biscuit and butter mixture into the base and slightly up the sides. Place in the refrigerator to set.
Meanwhile place the tin of unopened condensed milk in a lidded pan of boiling water and allow to boil for 2 hours.
Remove the tin from the boiling water and allow to cool enough so that you can touch it and open it.
Open the tin very carefully. Take out the dish from the fridge and spoon the caramelized toffee from the tin on top of your biscuit base. Return to the refrigerator to cool again for about 30 minutes.
Take the dish out of the fridge. Slice the bananas and arrange on top of the toffee.
Whip the cream and place on top of the bananas and smooth out. Dust the pie with cocoa powder and chill in the fridge once more.

Hi Alexia,
Thanks for posting this wonderful recipe.
Banofee Pie is one of my favorites!
I’ve never been crazy about bananas until I tried this famous pie, and that was one big mistake, since I just I cannot stop eating ;(
Just one small difference, I do not dust the pie with the cacao, but I whip the cream with ˝ teaspoon powdered instant coffee and about 1 spoon sugar. The coffee gives an interesting note in the combination with the toffee and banana. If I am not wrong, the original recipe of Hungry Monk Restaurant calls for the coffee in the whipping cream.
Also my office colleagues’ ve got crazy about it.
5 Stars is a minimum for this recipe!!!

I am crazy about bananas in cakes, pies etc. so this recipe is one of my favourites too. If I don't want to make it myself I go to Cafe Coco on Cowley Road in Oxford. That's where I first fell in love with Banoffee Pie.
Using instant coffee certainly sounds very interesting. I'll have to try that next time I make this pie. I guess you have to be very careful with the amount you use, or the coffee taste might get too strong.

Hi Alexia,
Yep, you're right. therefore it is only ˝ teaspoon powdered instant coffee for 400 ml whiping cream ;)

Hi,
@ all: "SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK" is what you need for this delicious pie.
The condensed milk must be sweetened; otherwise will not caramelize.
cheers,
hope
