Chrissie Swan Instagram – At the behest of @s.j.talbot and many, many others… behold my Banoffee Pie recipe!
What you’ll need:
1 packet McVitties Digestive biscuits.
100grams melted butter
1 tin condensed milk.
3 bananas
400ml cream, whipped with 2 tablespoons of caster sugar and slurp of vanilla extract. Makes it taste like vanilla icecream 🤤
Dark chocolate (not much – just to grate on the top)
HERE’S WHAT TO DO:
Make the Dulce de leche. (You can buy a pre-made product called Caramel Top n Fill but I don’t like it anywhere near as much as the one I make below – reasonable shortcut though)
Take label off a tin of condensed milk and place it in a saucepan full of water (leave the tin sealed). Make sure there’s a few centimetres of water above the top of the can (and I do about 5 at a time because this part takes the longest! They store in the fridge (sealed) forever and it means you can get a Banoffee on the table within minutes)
Bring water to the boil then turn it down to a simmer, lid on, about 4-5 hours checking the water hasn’t evaporated. After that time I just leave it in the water to cool down (it takes hours). When it’s cool enough to open you have the most delicious caramel ever!
BISCUIT BASE:
Blitz the biccies then stir in the melted butter. Push into a greased pie dish or square quiche tin – whatever you like – and bake for just 5 minutes on about 180. Whack into the fridge for a few hours until properly cold.
ASSEMBLE!
Spread your caramel onto the biccie base, arrange sliced bananas, top with whipped cream. Use a micro plane to grate some chocolate on top!
Scoff.
