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.

    This tastes amazing and naughty. My husband has always made the banoffee pie and didn't think it could get beaten. So a little competition later, I made this and all agreed it was better!

    This is one of the best recipes I have ever used. The only one suggestion I would make is to leave the pie in the fridge for 24 hours before eating as it will be more set and seems to taste even better. I have made this pie four times now and have to make extra for all the family because they have liked it so much.

    I cannot eat things too sweet like this pie more then a bite or two. And this way too sweet for me the last time i made it, though absolutely delicious. So since i was alone at home this weekend, i made a miniature version of it that i could finish before it turned bad! So instead of boiling the whole tin, i took 4 tablespoons of condensed milk in a pan. It burns really really fast so kept the heat minimum, and continuously stirred it (very fast) to keep it from burning. I LOVE coffee so i also added two teaspoons of coffee in a tablespoon water and added that to the toffee while still hot. it resulted in a incredibly yummy coffee flavoured toffee...and the pie turned out to better than any banoffee pie i have ever had.

    Simply gorgeous. Hubby said it's the nicest pud i've made. I added a tablespoon of golden syrup to the biscuit base while it was being whizzed in the mixer, also did half digestive biscuit and half hobnobs (only because i didnt have enough in the cupboard!) and it turned out fantastic. Will definitely be making this again.

    My daughter has made this on a number of occasions however she does not have a sweet tooth and it goes without saying that she found it very sweet. On the last occasion she substituted the sugar with 2 level teaspoons of instant coffee ( powdered variety) and gave it a new twist. She then dusted the top with a grated chocolate flake bar. Really nice !

    Easy recipe and absolutely delicious, I have to agree with other comments made you really do need to add more butter, at first I made the base exactly as the recipe stated but after it had cooled I tried very carefully to remove it from the tin and it just crumbled so I put it back into the bowl, warmed it in the microwave to soften the butter and added another 40g of melted butter pressed it back into the tart tin and chilled it for an hour in the fridge (didn't want to put it back in the oven as I had already done this the first time). It was a lot better (probably could have even added a little more butter but did not want the biscuit base to be hard), I managed to remove although next time I make it I will cut out a circular disc of baking paper to line the bottom of the tart tin as I could not slide biscuit case off the tart tin base and had to leave it on and cut the Banoffee Pie carefully so as not to scratch my tin base. I hope this is of some help to first timers!

    This is super easy and super sweet - I recommend small slices. I added some pure vanilla essence to the cream and grated dark chocolate on top. Does taste better the day after, gives time to get really banana-ry.

    Love this recipe, a hit with everyone. I find hobnobs work perfectly but added a little extra butter to make the base set properly. 2 layers of thinly sliced bananas to contrast the very sweet caramel works for me!

    Delicious! Very happy with the way mine turned out. I melted a table spoon of peanut butter and spread it on top of the caramel before setting. So yummy!

    I made this over the weekend for a dinner party. I used digestive biscuits instead and doubled the amount of butter in the base as it was far too dry with the original amount. I also chilled the base in the fridge for an hour instead of baking it which might be why I had no problem with it being too brittle as other users have said. The end result was yummy scrummy and everyone raved about it, so I'll definitely be making it again!

    Crikey - so easy-peasy, impressive and loved by all....and because it is soooo sweet and rich, it serves a good 10 people! Will definitely make again but halve the amounts if its just for the family. The easiest recipe I've made in ages.

    I made this for the first time today to take to a family gathering. The base just completely crumbled away when I served it - I think I need to add more butter than the recipte suggests. Nigella's has 200g and Carnation suggests 100g. But otherwise delicious -no complaints from the family either!

    I love recipe as it is so easy to follow and taste amazing. I added fresh vanilla pod (inside), a little splash of vanilla essence to the cream as it takes the milky taste which is nicer if you aren't a fan of cream. I also sprinkle half a pack of flake and galaxy ripple on top of the banana just before the cream then on top of the cream melted dark chocolate. Sooo yum..
