Banoffee Marshmallow Cake Recipes

Steps:

• For the base: Blitz the cookies in a food processor or put in a resealable plastic bag and bash with a rolling pin to a small crumb consistency, then mix in the oil.
• Press the cookie mixture into the base of a parchment-lined 8-inch springform nonstick cake pan. Press down to form an even base.
• For the filling: Mix together the sugar, vanilla, cream cheese and lemon juice in a medium mixing bowl. Beat together well and spoon on top of the biscuit base, smoothing out evenly with a spatula or metal tablespoon.
• Cover and put in the fridge to chill and firm, at least 4 hours and up to 2 days.
• For the topping: Just before serving, put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of gently simmering water (make sure the base of the bowl doesn't touch the water) and stir with a wooden spoon while you let it melt, about 4 minutes. Stir again to make sure it has totally melted, then remove the bowl and set aside. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in a microwavable bowl in 30 second bursts, stirring between each burst.
• When ready to serve, unlock the ring on the pan, lift the cheesecake and put on a serving plate.
• Peel and thinly slice the bananas and heap on top of the cheesecake, then drizzle over the Carefree Caramel in a zigzag or spiral pattern across the top, followed by a drizzle of the melted chocolate. Serve.
• Spoon the cornstarch into a jug or bowl and stir in the milk until smooth and free of any lumps.
• Tip the sugar into a small pan over medium-low heat and allow it to warm, about 2 minutes. Slowly pour the milk mixture into the sugar, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to keep it smooth. Allow it to heat and gently bubble, stirring until nicely caramelized and thickened to a consistency that is glossy and coats the back of the wooden spoon, about 4 minutes. Refrigerate any extra caramel in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter or margarine, and ginger until well blended . Press mixture into a 9 inch pie plate. Cool in refrigerator.
• In a sauce pan, boil an unopened can of sweetened condensed milk for 3 hours. Monitor the water closely, to make sure there is always water in the pan. Remove can from heat and let cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Open can and pour toffee into pie crust. Allow to cool.
• Slice bananas over toffee.
• Whip 2 cups of cream and spoon it on top of bananas. Refrigerate before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Make the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar and salt. Stir until fully incorporated and sandy. (When you pinch a bit of it between your fingers, it should hold together.) Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Using your fingers or a flat-bottomed cup, press the mixture into the pie plate and up the sides. Make sure it is well packed. Bake until set, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 2 days.
• Spoon the dulce de leche into the pie crust and spread into an even layer. Pile in banana slices into a relatively even layer (they should overlap). Transfer the pie to the refrigerator while you make the whipped cream.
• Make the whipped cream: Using a handheld mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract and instant coffee, if using, on medium-high speed until firm peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Spread the whipped cream on top of the bananas, making sure to spread the whipped cream to the edge, totally covering the bananas (this will help prevent them from browning). Chill the pie, uncovered, for 2 hours and up to overnight.
• To serve, sprinkle the pie with chocolate shavings or fresh coffee grounds, if desired. Store leftover pie in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 5 days. The whipped cream may lose some height, but the pie will be no less delicious.
