Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups digestive biscuit crumbs (or graham crackers)
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (for toffee)
- 2 large ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate (optional, for decoration)
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Base:
- In a food processor, crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs.
- Mix the crumbs with the melted butter until combined.
- Press the mixture into the base of a 9-inch tart pan or pie dish to form a smooth, even layer.
- Refrigerate the base for 1 hour to set.
- Make the Toffee:
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir constantly for 5-7 minutes until the milk thickens and turns golden brown.
- Pour the toffee mixture evenly over the chilled biscuit base.
- Let it cool to room temperature before moving on.
- Assemble the Pie:
- Once the toffee is set, arrange the banana slices over the toffee layer.
- Whip the Cream:
- In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Gently spread the whipped cream over the banana slices, smoothing it out to cover evenly.
- Finishing Touches:
- Optionally, drizzle some dark chocolate over the whipped cream or dust with cocoa powder for a decorative touch.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving to allow all the flavors to meld together.
Notes
- You can use any type of biscuits or cookies to make the base, but digestive biscuits give it a traditional texture and flavor.
- For a stronger toffee flavor, cook the condensed milk for a few extra minutes until it’s darker and thicker.
- To make it more decadent, add a layer of melted chocolate before the bananas.
