Classic Banoffee Pie
Banoffee Pie layers sliced bananas and rich toffee in a buttery biscuit crust, finished with a thick topping of whipped cream. This British classic from the 1970s comes together in about 30 minutes of active prep, with the toffee made by simmering condensed milk until thick and golden.
Equipment
- 9-inch pie dish
- Food Processor
- Saucepan
- Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups crushed digestive biscuits or graham crackers
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
For the Toffee Filling:
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 oz
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
For the Topping:
- 3 large bananas sliced
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream whipped to stiff peaks
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate grated, for garnish
Instructions
- Make the Crust: In a food processor, pulse together the crushed digestive biscuits and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
- Prepare the Toffee Filling: In a saucepan, gently heat the sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, and butter over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and turns a deep caramel color, about 8-10 minutes. Pour the toffee over the chilled crust and smooth with a spatula. Let it cool for about 15 minutes.
- Assemble the Pie: Layer sliced bananas over the cooled toffee. Spread the whipped cream over the bananas, creating soft peaks for an airy finish.
- Garnish: Sprinkle grated dark chocolate over the top of the whipped cream for a touch of elegance.
Notes
Tammy’s Tips:
- For a twist, try adding a layer of chocolate ganache over the toffee before layering bananas.
- If you prefer a less sweet pie, reduce the amount of brown sugar in the toffee mixture.
- Use ripe but firm bananas for better texture and flavor.
