Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 400 grams (1 can) Sweetened condensed milk
- 3 medium Bananas
- 300 ml Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 20 grams Chocolate (for grating, optional)
Instructions
Prepare the base: Crush the digestive biscuits (or graham crackers) into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and hitting with a rolling pin.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then mix it into the biscuit crumbs until fully combined.
Press the mixture into the base of a 23cm (9-inch) springform pan or pie dish to form an even layer. Place this in the refrigerator to chill and set for at least 20 minutes.
Prepare the caramel: Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Place the saucepan on very low heat and stir constantly to create caramel. This process will take roughly 25–30 minutes; continue stirring until it turns golden brown and thickens. Be careful to avoid burning.
Once the caramel is ready, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. Then, spread it over the chilled biscuit base and return to the refrigerator to set for another 30 minutes.
Prepare the bananas: Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds. Arrange them in a single layer over the set caramel.
Whip the cream: In a mixing bowl, whisk the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until soft peaks form.
Spread the whipped cream evenly over the bananas, creating a smooth top layer.
Optional: Grate the chocolate over the whipped cream to garnish.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 1 hour before serving to ensure it fully sets.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your homemade Banoffi Banoffee Pie!
