Banoffee Pie Recipe (Step by Step Recipe)

Banoffee Pie, an English dessert is one of the best and easiest desserts to make. The delicious blend of rich caramel, banana and cream is simply irresistible. Please try this as I am sure you will all like it.

First make Dulce the Leche

To make Dulce the Leche put the can of condensed milk, unopened, in a large pan, cover with water, bring to boiling point and boil for 3 hours, topping up with boiling water from a kettle as needed. Ensure that the can remains covered in water, as otherwise there is a risk of the can bursting open. Remove and leave to cool completely.

To make biscuit base mix melted butter and powdered biscuit. Line a pie dish with this mixture and keep it in the fridge for some time. (For a crunchy biscuit base you can bake this for 10 minutes at 160C. I always do this :)

Open the cooled can of condensed milk, which will have turned to toffee. Spread this over the layer of biscuit.

Peel and thinly slice the bananas, and arrange in a layer over the toffee

Whip the cream until Stiff.

Spread cream over the banana layer.

Finally decorate with grated chocolate and drizzle with chocolate sauce

OR

Dust with cocoa powder using a sieve.

Now the whole recipe in one place :)

• To make Dulce the Leche (pronounced dulchay the laychay), put the can of condensed milk, unopened, in a large pan, cover with water, bring to boiling point and boil for 3 hours, topping up with boiling water from a kettle as needed. Ensure that the can remains covered in water, as otherwise there is a risk of the can bursting open. Remove and leave to cool completely. You can make this ahead of time or even boil several tins at one go and store the unopened cans in the fridge for several months. This is the traditional way of making Dulce the Leche which I have tired. However, you can see other tried and tested methods of making dulce the leche in Aquadaze's place
