Banoffee Pie

I had forgotten how good this dessert is! It had been a while since I made it last, but last week I made it twice!
Not a light dessert, I have to say, but one of my favourite!

Banoffee Pie

1 packet of oat chocolate digestives (or any similar biscuits)
3 tbsp butter
1 tin of condensed milk (~400g)
2 large bananas
180 ml whipping cream
Cocoa powder for sprinkling

Put the tin of milk (without opening it!!) in a saucepan full of boiling water and boil for 2 hours.

In the meantime, crush the biscuits in a plastic bag with a rolling pin. You can use a food processor/blender, but I personally like the big-ish lumps you get when doing it manually.

Melt the butter in a pan and mix the biscuit crumbs in.

Transfer the crumbs mix into a glass dish and push down with the back of a spoon to have an even base. Place on the fridge to set.

After the two hours, take the milk tin out of the pan and let it cool down. Open it carefully and pour the toffee over the biscuit base. Leave in the fridge to cool down.


Thinly slice the bananas and place the slices over the toffee.

Whip the double or whipping cream and pour over the banana slices. Smooth out and sprinkle the chocolate on top.
