Feel free to customize your Banoffee Pie by experimenting with different toppings. Adding nuts or a drizzle of caramel sauce can elevate the flavor profile even further, giving it your own unique twist. Whatever variations you choose, this pie is bound to be a crowd-pleaser!

Ingredients

For the Pie Crust

200g digestive biscuits, crushed
100g unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling

400g sweetened condensed milk
2 large bananas, sliced
300ml heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Topping

Chocolate shavings (optional)
Extra banana slices (optional)

Make sure to use ripe bananas for the best flavor!

Instructions

Prepare the Crust

In a bowl, mix the crushed digestive biscuits with melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a pie dish to form an even crust. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.

Make the Toffee Filling

In a saucepan, boil the sweetened condensed milk for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly until it turns a golden brown color. Allow to cool slightly before spreading over the chilled crust.

Layer the Bananas

Arrange the sliced bananas on top of the toffee layer, spreading them evenly.

Prepare the Cream Topping

In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the bananas.

Garnish and Serve

Top with chocolate shavings and extra banana slices if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Enjoy your delicious Banoffee Pie!

Storage Tips

If you have leftovers, Banoffee Pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. To keep the crust from getting soggy, it's best to store it in an airtight container. If possible, add the whipped cream topping just before serving to maintain its fluffy texture.

For long-term storage, consider freezing the pie without the cream topping. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. When you're ready to enjoy it, simply thaw in the fridge overnight and add the whipped cream topping fresh.

Serving Suggestions

Banoffee Pie is delicious on its own, but pairing it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream can take it to the next level. The creaminess of the ice cream complements the pie beautifully, making each bite even more satisfying.

For a touch of sophistication, consider serving it alongside a cup of freshly brewed coffee or a dessert wine. The bitterness of the coffee contrasts nicely with the sweetness of the pie, creating a balanced dessert experience that your guests will appreciate.
