Banoffee Splits Recipes

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:

• Place a whisk and mixing bowl in the freezer to cool, 10 to 20 minutes.
• Place bananas in the bottom of the pie crust and drizzle 5 ounces caramel syrup over top. Reserve remaining caramel syrup for garnish.
• Remove whisk and mixing bowl from the freezer. Place whipping cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla in the chilled bowl. Mix rapidly with the whisk until peaks form leaving a stiff whipped cream; do not overmix.
• Spread whipped topping over the bananas and pie crust. Drizzle remaining caramel over top in a circular or zigzag motion for effect. Place in the refrigerator or freezer until whipped topping has firmed up, 15 to 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Combine the butter, sugar and vanilla extract. Split the inside curve of each banana with a knife, being careful not to cut all the way through. Spread a spoonful of the butter mixture into each split, then put the bananas, split-side up, onto individual sheets of foil - they should be large enough to encase the bananas completely. Crimp the edges of the foil to seal the parcels. These can be prepared the day before - just chill until you're ready to cook.
• Heat a barbecue to low or until a thin layer of coals has turned grey. Cook the parcels for 15 mins, turning once.
• Carefully unwrap the parcels, reserving any sauce that's inside. Transfer to plates, then scatter over the pecans and drizzle over any sauce reserved from the base of the parcels. Serve with a scoop of ice cream, whipped cream or yogurt.
