Indulge in the irresistible charm of the Original Banoffi Banoffee Pie, a classic British dessert that perfectly balances rich caramel, fresh bananas, and velvety cream atop a buttery biscuit base. This no-bake treat is made from simple, pantry-friendly ingredients like digestive biscuits, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream, yet delivers show-stopping flavor. The homemade caramel, crafted by gently heating condensed milk to golden perfection, adds a luscious layer of sweetness that pairs beautifully with the natural fruitiness of ripe bananas. Whipped cream, lightly sweetened and infused with a touch of vanilla, crowns the pie for a luxurious finish, while a sprinkling of grated chocolate adds a sophisticated touch. Quick to prepare yet delightfully indulgent, this Banoffee Pie is a winning choice for gatherings, celebrations, or a well-deserved treat. Serve it chilled to savor every creamy, crunchy, caramel-kissed bite!
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!
