Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
To make the biscuit base, place the gluten-free digestive biscuits in a food processor and pulse until they resemble fine crumbs.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat or in a microwave. Add the melted butter to the biscuit crumbs and mix well to combine.
Transfer the crumb mixture to a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan. Press firmly into the base and a little up the sides to create an even layer. Place in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.
For the caramel filling, pour the sweetened condensed milk into a heatproof pie dish. Cover with foil and place this dish in a larger baking pan. Fill the larger pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the pie dish.
Bake the condensed milk in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until it turns a deep golden color, stirring once or twice.
Carefully remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. This will be your dulce de leche.
Take the biscuit base from the fridge and pour the dulce de leche over it, spreading evenly.
Slice the bananas and lay them evenly over the dulce de leche layer.
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Spread the whipped cream over the bananas, smoothing out with a spatula.
Sprinkle dark chocolate shavings on top, if using.
Chill the banoffee pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
