Simple Banoffee Pie Recipes

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.

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.

Steps:

• Immerse the can of sweetened condensed milk in a pot of boiling water. Simmer, ensuring the can is fully covered with water, until caramelized, 2 to 3 hours. Remove the can from the boiling water using tongs and let cool, 8 hours to overnight.
• Mix digestive biscuits with 1/2 cup plus 2 1/2 tablespoons melted butter in a bowl. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate crust until firm.
• Beat heavy cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
• Mix caramelized condensed milk and bananas together in a bowl. Pour over the crust. Sprinkle instant coffee over banana mixture. Spread whipped cream on top.

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!

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.
