Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Crush the biscuits in a food processor then add the melted butter and pulse to combine. Press the mixture into a 24cm tart tin, with a removable base, in an even layer. Transfer the tin to a baking sheet and cook for 10-12 minutes, until lightly toasted and set. Leave to cool then gently release from the tin and put on a serving plate.
  2. Spread the caramel over the biscuit base and chill for 1 hour. Arrange the banana slices over the toffee. Whip the cream and sugar together to form soft peaks and spread over the bananas. Melt the chocolate in a microwave or in a bowl set over, not in, a pan of simmering water. Allow to cool slightly, before drizzling over the cream.

    I loved this pie. I had to substitute the carnation caramel with a kind I could eat, as I have intolerances, and I had to do the same, swapping the cream with dream topping, but it was almost exactly the same, and it tasted amazing! The caramelly hob nob base mixed in with lots of the dream topping was to die for!

    Boil an unopened can of condensed milk covered in water for about 3 hours and Magic- caramel, same as Nestles. Warning- keep the can covered by the water though or it will explode. Pressure cooker works well as well

    I've made this for years - but only just realised I can buy the condensed milk ready caramelised - doh! It made life soooo much easier and I think tasted better then the long method I'd always used.

    This cake was anticipated for weeks as it was to celebrate the end of bodybuilding contest prep. diet...i wolfed it down whole yet obviously it was very heavy. You feel those 7000 kcals! The average person would only be able to finish a slice. Next time i will scatter cadburys flake over the cream as opposed to dark chocolate.

    I made this Banoffee Pie earlier today for the first time and it was so easy! - It even looked like the one in the picture and tasted delicious...although I must admit, I only used half of the recommended amount of chocolate for the top.....I highly recommend this recipe.

    This is one of my favs, all my friends love it and always want more. I sometimes use dark chocolate digestives as the base and substitute the dark chocolate with some Galaxy as i prefer this. Tastes so good but very sickly!

    @Shevy - good advice... About 12 years ago, my mum was boiling a tin of condensed milk for a banoffee pie. She went off to dry her hair and forgot about the water level. Needless to say, it boiled dry and did indeed explode! You would not believe the mess. The pan literally jumped up too and landed on the work surface, burning a hole in it. The caramel went 2 metres in every direction - it took hours to get it off the ceiling! And this would be far worse if anyone had been in the kitchen at the time. Hot caramel & bare skin = nasty burns. You've been warned! (I don't bother boiling tins myself).

    This recipe went down really well - so well I had to make 2 in one week!!! The only thing I changed was the biscuit base - I used digestives. Very tasty and very little effort!
