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.

    Quick and easy, and always a hit in my house. Special enough for a party! try drizzling the chocolate onto greaseproof paper or foil into shapes like stars and put in the fridge. when they're cold they will stand up beautifully in the cream, but don't add them until the last minutes if it's warm or you have the central heating on. I found it better to use the non caramel carnation and boil it up (for ages!). It set better.

    I've had a disaster. Just started making this and when i tried to lift the biscuit base out ... it just crumbled everywhere. It's now in the bin and i'm wondering what to do next.

    This recipe is absolutely fantastic! Failsafe-delicious, easy to prepare, and always goes down a treat with my family and fruit. Some tips: ALWAYS make sure you use the ripest bananas, or the bananas will have a sour taste if being left in the fridge for while. Also, try buying carnation condensed milk and making your own toffee for a nice touch.

    I made this today for a leaving party for an ex-boss. It went down very well - and was very easy to make. I used half digestive, half ginger biscuits for the base which worked well.

    I really enjoyed making this banoffee pie, and as most people have already said you can't really go wrong with it. I followed the recipe although there were a couple of things that I would change next time - The base was slightly crumbly around the edges and I can see why baking it helps but I personally feel that if you chill it in the fridge instead it would still work, just make sure that it is pressed down into the tin well. I also felt that a 300ml pot of double cream would have been enough. Instead of melting chocolate for the top I crumbled a flake over and it and it still looked and tasted perfect. Great recipe that I will be making again!

    For the sake of 30p, I'd rather use the Nestle Caramel than spend 3 hours on tenterhooks boiling up a can of condensed milk! I'm going to make this for my children tomorrow, will let you know how it goes.

    Im a beginner at cooking and i was reading this recipe and didnt understand what it meant by "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" Can anyone explain it a bit more clearly please. Thanks Very much

    Very easy recipe, used up my brown bananas! But 100g of chocolate is far too much for drizzling over the top. I doubt you would even need half as much. Otherwise very good.

    I made this a about two days ago and I must say that its the easiest dessert I've made so far. It was quick and even cost effective. I will definately make this again. As a matter of fact I am making it this weekend. One thing that I changed was the chocolate on top. Rather than dark chocolate I used plain chocolate. Still tasted the same. Bon appetite.

    I made this for the first time today. I made it in a bowl (suitable for an oven) and so glad I did. After cooking biscuit base for 10 min it was still very crumbly and not 'solid' enough to transfer to a plate. Other than that, it tasted absolutely yummy. I dished up too much, so beware! lol It's very rich and very sweet. But so so yummy!!!
