I tried 3 different Banoffee Pie recipes I found online and a recipe book. So I've made my own version of the banoffee pie using the basis of the recipes I have found and added a bit of twist! My partner and friends love this and I hope you will too.

Ingredients

For the toffee sauce:
1 (405g) tin of condensed milk
Base:
350g of digestives or biscuits of your choice
150g of butter, melted
1 (284ml) pot of double cream
3 bananas, sliced
instant coffee (optional)

Preparation method

1. To make the toffee sauce, remove the label of the condensed milk and immerse it in boiling water. Boil the tin for 2 - 3 hours. The longer you boil it, the darker and thicker the toffee will be. Make sure that the tin is FULLY immersed in water, otherwise, the tin will explode.
2. For the base, crush the digestives and mix it with melted butter. Using a pestle or fork, press the digestives onto the pan. Make sure that there are no holes. Chill. Meanwhile, whip the cream until it's stiff.
3. There are three ways to arrange:
4. Simple: Mix toffee and banana then pour onto the base. Sprinkle instant coffee then spread cream on top.
5. Layer - spread cream onto the base, sprinkle a little bit of instant coffee then arrange the sliced banana, spread toffee then repeat.
6. Layer 2 - spread cream onto the base, arrange the sliced banana then add another layer of cream. sprinkle some coffee powder and drizzle it with toffee.

Tip:

I suggest using a spring form or loose bottomed cake tin. If not, line your tin with either a cling film or parchment paper so it will be easier to lift the whole pie out without breaking it.

    Tweak: dreadlocklover Made it healthier:

    Individual Banoffee Tarts. Use any digestive biscuit or shortbread and cut out the condensed milk. Use low fat toffee sauce mix poured over the base and then over the cut bananas. Can add coffee if liked. Finish with whipped Elmlea or Squirty Cream and crumble flake over top. Quicker and much less sickly/fattening.

    lovely! Was very easy to folow, and tasted delicious. I crushed a flake and put that on top as I'm not a coffee fan.

    A really great recipe, although I did not have time to boil the condensed milk so I searched other recipes that specifically did not boil to make the toffee and found a lady who did it on her blog (http://whatcanipassyou.blogspot.com/2009/11/ban-off-ee-i-dont-what-is-that.html). A good note to have, although it can be fun and dangerous to boil the milk!
