Banoffee Pie is a delightful dessert that was created by the British. The name of the pie comes from the combination of the words banana and toffee. This pie has a buttery biscuit base, a lovely caramel or toffee filling (dulce de leche) , lots of bananas and a whipped cream topping.
Banoffee Pie
Ingredients for the Pie Crust:
250g digestive biscuits (or any type of biscuit you prefer)
120g melted butter
80g pecans (optional)
If not using pecans, add extra 80g of biscuits
Ingredients for the Caramel:
1 tin condensed milk
Ingredients for the Banana Layer:
3 bananas
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Ingredients for the Whipped Cream:
2 cups cold whipping cream
2 tablespoons icing sugar
2 teaspoons gelatine powder
2 tablespoons hot water
Make the Pie Crust:
1. Blend the biscuits and nuts in a blender/food processor.
Alternative: place the biscuits and nuts in a Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin or hammer.
2. Mix the biscuit and nuts.
3. Add the melted butter and mix well.
4. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of your pie dish.
5. Store in the refrigerator until needed.
Make the Caramel:
1. Fill a pan with water.
2. Place the unopened tin of condensed milk in the pan.
Make sure that the tin remains under the water.
3. Bring the water to a boil.
4. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer.
5. Let the tin of condensed milk simmer in the pan for 3 hours. Regularly check that the water level is always above the tin. Add boiling water to the pan whenever the water level is falling below the tin.
6. After 3 hours, remove the tin from the pan and allow it to cool.
7. Spread the caramel over the bottom of the crust.
Prepare the Banana Layer:
1. Slice the bananas.
2. Pour the lemon juice over the bananas to prevent them from turning brown.
3. Arrange the bananas over the caramel.
Prepare the Whipped Cream:
1. Mix the gelatine powder with the hot water.
2. Whisk this mixture until the gelatine dissolves.
3. Pour the cold whipping cream into a metal bowl that has been standing in the freezer for a few minutes. (The whisk attachments should also be placed in the freezer for a few minutes before using.)
4. Start whisking the cream.
5. Continue whisking until the cream has thickened and soft peaks are forming.
6. Add the icing sugar and continue whisking.
7. Add the gelatine mixture.
8. Stop whisking once the cream is firm.
9. Do not over whisk.
10. Spoon the whipped cream over the bananas.
To serve, sprinkle chopped nuts or shaved chocolate over the whipped cream (optional).
Banoffee Pie is best served on the day it is made.
