Method

  1. Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Thickly slice the bananas into a wide, shallow dish (a 20cm circular dish works well). Scatter the raspberries over the top.
  2. Put the biscuits into a sturdy bowl or old saucepan and bash with the end of a rolling pin until reduced to crumbs. Stir in the sugar, then the butter, making sure all the crumbs are well coated. Scatter evenly over the fruit.
  3. Bake for 20-25 mins, until just beginning to colour. Leave to stand for at least 10 mins for the topping to crisp up: you could even cook it just before eating the main course and let it wait in a warm place until you've finished. Serve with cream or custard.

    Very simple and easy to do. I served it with vanilla ice-cream and we all had 2 servings each. Maybe next time I will use less sugar as the biscuits are already very sweet.

    Very easy to make but a hit and a miss in our house. We had it with custard and my husband and myself thought it was lovely but the children weren't keen and they are normally fans of fruit. My husband ended up eating it all! The calories are very high and I did only add 100g of sugar due to previous comments and you didn't need anymore. I would do again, but just not for the children.

    Cals are in the high 700s. Blame the butter, not the sugar (which reducing by 40g will only save you 40 cals per serving I'm afraid).

    I don't make desserts often, but this is more-ish, although I better not make it too often, considering the calories! Like others, I reduced the sugar (even a bit less than what I used would have worked). You could really cut the butter by at least one-third, I think, and even use fewer ginger biscuits. Reducing them to crumbs in a food processor would also have taken less time. Nonetheless, it is a delicious treat, and you could even use blueberries or mixed summer fruits instead.
