Prepare the base by crushing the digestive biscuits (or graham crackers) into fine crumbs. Use a food processor for ease, or place the biscuits in a sealed bag and smash with a rolling pin.
Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, then mix it thoroughly with the biscuit crumbs.
Press the biscuit mixture firmly into the base and slightly up the sides of a 20cm (8-inch) springform or tart tin. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to set.
To make the caramel, pour the sweetened condensed milk into a saucepan. Heat gently on low, stirring continuously, for about 35 minutes until it thickens and turns a golden caramel color. Be careful not to let it burn.
Let the caramel cool slightly, then spread it evenly over the chilled biscuit base. Return the tin to the fridge for another hour or until the caramel is firm.
Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds. Arrange them on top of the set caramel layer.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Spread the whipped cream over the bananas, creating soft swirls for texture. If desired, use a piping bag for a more decorative finish.
Grate the dark chocolate over the whipped cream layer for garnish.
Chill the banoffee pie in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving. Slice and enjoy!
