Easy Banoffee Pie Food

EASY BANOFFEE PIE

Steps:

• Place the UNopened can of condensed milk (don't open the can!) in a saucepan and cover with water.
• Bring the water to the boil then reduce slightly and let the can boil covered for 2 1/2 or 3 hours (if you're patient enough to wait for 3 hours it is better).
• IMPORTANT- Don't ever let the saucepan boil dry.
• Keep checking up on it and adding water if necessary.
• Remove the can and wait a few minutes before opening it very carefully in the sink.
• The condensed milk will look like creamy brown caramel.
• Stir the caramel in the can with a fork to remove any lumps, then pour into your pie crust and let it cool, then refrigerate till cold.
• Slice bananas thinly and lay them on top of the toffee filling.
• Whip the cream and spread it over the bananas.
• I usually just cover the bananas, but if you like more cream, spread it as thickly as you want.
• Dust the cocoa or powdered drinking chocolate on top for effect, using a sieve.
• Serve in thin slices with coffee.
• Enjoy!

EASY BANOFFEE PIE

Steps:

• Crush the digestive biscuits, either by hand using a wooden spoon, or in a food processor, until you get fine crumbs, tip into a bowl. Mix the crushed biscuits with the melted butter until fully combined. Tip the mixture into a 23cm loose bottomed fluted tart tin and cover the tin, including the sides, with the biscuit in an even layer. Push down with the back of a spoon to smooth the surface and chill for 1 hr, or overnight.
• Beat the caramel to loosen and spoon it over the bottom of the biscuit base. Spread it out evenly using the back of a spoon or palette knife. Gently push the chopped banana into the top of the caramel until the base is covered. Put in the fridge.
• Whip the cream with the icing sugar until billowy and thick. Take the pie out of the fridge and spoon the whipped cream on top of the bananas. Grate the dark chocolate over the cream, if you like, and serve.

EASY BANOFFEE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Pour condensed milk into a pie pan and cover tightly with foil for the caramel. Place in a larger pan. Add hot water to the pan but keep it below the top of the pie pan; you don't want to get any water into the milk.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the caramel is thick and brown, about 1 hour.
• Remove from the oven and transfer caramel to a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Pour into the graham cracker crust, cover, and cool in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
• Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until frothy. Add sugar gradually, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Mix in vanilla.
• Remove pie crust and caramel from the refrigerator. Cover caramel completely with banana slices. Spread whipped cream over top and sprinkle lightly with cocoa powder. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
