BEST-EVER BANOFFEE PIE

Steps:

• To make the base, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Break the biscuits into chunky pieces and put in a food processor. Blend into crumbs, then add the melted butter and, with the motor running, blend well. Alternatively, put the biscuits in a strong polythene food bag and bash with a rolling pin. Tip into a bowl and stir in the melted butter.
• Tip the crumbs into the centre of a deep, 23cm/9in fluted loose-based tart tin or quiche dish and press firmly into the base and sides. Make sure it is evenly distributed, especially where the base meets the sides. Cover and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes, or until set.
• To make the filling, melt the butter in a medium saucepan, then stir in the sugar. Cook over a low heat, stirring constantly, until the butter and sugar look smooth and no oil floats to the surface. Add the condensed milk and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring, until the mixture turns a deep, creamy caramel brown.
• Pour the toffee gently onto the biscuit base and quickly smooth the surface. Leave to chill for 1 hour (or up to 8 hours).
• Just before serving, lightly whip the cream in a bowl. It should stand in soft peaks, any thicker and it will look over-whipped when mixed with the bananas. Peel and diagonally slice four bananas and scatter half of them over the toffee. Fold the rest lightly into the cream and spoon gently on top.
• Peel and slice the remaining banana and put it in a bowl. Pour the lemon juice over and gently toss (this will stop the banana turning brown). Decorate the top with the lemony banana, poking into the cream randomly, and sprinkle the pie with grated chocolate or decorate with chocolate curls. Serve in fairly thin slices as it is very rich.

BANOFFEE PIE

Steps:

• Place the digestive biscuits or graham crackers into a food processor and blend until you get a fine crumb. Pour in the butter and blend again to mix. Tip into a 9-inch pie dish and press down firmly to cover the base and sides of the dish. Chill for 30 minutes.
• Spread the dulce de leche into the chilled crust in an even layer. Cut the bananas into coins about ¼-inch thick and cover the dulce de leche with them.
• Place the heavy cream into a medium bowl and beat with a whisk until thickened. Spread over the sliced bananas. Use a peeler to peel shavings of dark chocolate over the whipped cream. Chill for at least an hour before serving. Keep covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.

BANOFFEE PIE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and set in a larger baking dish. Fill the larger dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the smaller dish.
• Place in the oven and cook for 90 minutes. Check the water level occasionally, making sure that it reaches halfway and refilling as necessary.
• Carefully remove the baking dish from the hot water bath and let cool to room temperature. Whisk the mixture (now it's dulce de leche!) until smooth.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 350˚F (180˚C).
• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the graham crackers and melted butter. Pulse until crackers are finely ground and the mixture resembles wet sand.
• Grease a 9-inch (22 cm) tart pan with nonstick spray. Add the graham cracker mixture to the tin and press evenly to cover pan completely.
• Bake crust for 5 minutes, until golden and fragrant. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature.
• Spread the dulce de leche in the cooled tart crust, using a flexible spatula to smooth it into an even layer. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight, until set.
• In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks are just beginning to form. Add the sugar and beat until soft peaks form.
• Remove the pie from the refrigerator. Scatter the banana slices over the dulce de leche. Top with the whipped cream, spreading evenly to cover bananas, and garnish with chocolate shavings.
• Enjoy!
