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 followed the recipe exactly and my base crumbled into thousands of pieces when trying to transfer. Then my caramel sauce leaked through the tin and finally I overwhipped my cream! Wasn't meant to be!

    Brilliant although you have to use about 80g butter to get the base to set properly. Also I would suggest not using as much chocolate perhaps only 50g as you will be drizzling and drizziling with 100g and still have some left over! However when made right it is fantastic!

    Adore making this but would stick to the original version that uses a pastry base instead of the crumb biscuit version. The oringal creator Ian Dowding suggests an alternative using a type of apple puree, not too mush mind, it sounds delish.

    Similar to a recipe an ex-boyfriend's stepmother gave me many years ago and I fall back on time and time again. Just add a layer of cold custard between the banana and the cream (make in advance, allow to cool before topping the pie - bit like with trifle) - not to everyone's taste but I'd never leave it out and its always proved popular. Try flavouring the custard with chocolate, and using ginger biscuits for the base instead of digestives (agree with other comments - no need to bake the base, just chill).

    I Have made this pie many time & have found this reciepe is not quite right! I use about 250G buscuits & 100G butter, i also dont bake the base & leave it to set over night in the fridge. I usually make this 2 days before i want to serve it - i make the base one evening & then add the caramel the next, i dont add the bananas or cream right up untill the last minute, i find this makes it taste much fresher! Also i use chocoalte sprinkles for the top which is alot easier =) its lovely though! mine & my husbnds favourite.

    I agree that the biscuit base need more butter if you want to serve in slices! However a great recipe and a real crowd pleaser!

    This was my first attempt at Banoffee Pie and WOW what a scrumptious one it was too! Very easy to make. Followed recipe using suggested Hobnobs but changed dark choc for crumbled Flake. Everyone loved it, therfore will make again but only on special occasions as it's very high in calories!

    This is a simple cake to make that makes you look like you've done way more work than you actually have. A definite crowd pleaser, I've made it several times now and it's definitely one of my favourites.

    Hi I am looking to make this recipe.... I would like to know whether it will fall apart if I base the sides of the tin with the biscuits, I am using a cake tin with a removable bottom and base the sides of the tin with the biscuits...

    i have made this recipe many times, i have never baked the base, there is no need to. as long as it is chilled in the fridge for a couple of hours before you add the condensed milk. i also like to add toasted flaked almonds to the top instead of chocolate.
