Occasionally (and confusingly) marketed as “American pie” in 1980s English markets, banoffee pie is a modernBritish classic. The combination of chewy-creamy toffee sauce, bananas, and whipped cream topping was invented at the Hungry Monk restaurant in East Sussex circa 1971. While some cooks opt for a graham cracker crust orbuttery pastry shell, this version of the British dessert calls for a pie crust made fromdigestive biscuitssuch asMcVitie’s. You’ll crush them into fine crumbs, stir them into melted butter, and press the mix into a parchment-lined cake or tart pan with a removable bottom for an easy no-bake cookie crust. If you prefer to use a pie dish, a regular 9" pie plate will work.

You can skip the homemade brown sugar caramel sauce if you like, subbing in a 14-oz. can of store-bought dulce de leche, but makinghomemade whipped creamis absolutely worth the effort. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer with the whisk attachment to beat cold heavy cream and powdered sugar into soft peaks. (Not stiff peaks, you want an almost silky texture.) You can add a splash of vanilla extract to the cream for flavor, though this banoffee pie recipe is rich enough without it. To finish we love the look ofchocolate shavings, but a simple dusting of cocoa powder can be just as effective.

Ingredients

6 servings

1¾ sticks plus 2 tsp. (210 g) unsalted butter

12 digestive biscuits (174 g)

⅓ cup plus 1 tsp. (80 g) light brown sugar

14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk

3 ripe bananas

1¼ cups (300 ml) heavy cream

1 Tbsp. powdered sugar

1 oz. (30 g) milk or dark chocolate (bittersweet or semisweet), flaked or shaved, for garnish (optional)

Step 1
Cut out a circle of baking (parchment) paper to fit across the bottom of a loose-bottom 20-cm/8-inch tart or cake pan.
Step 2
Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat for 2 minutes, or until melted. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Step 3
Crush the biscuits in a food processor, if available (or put the biscuits in a plastic bag and bash to crumbs using a rolling pin). Put the crumbs into a large bowl and stir inhalfthe melted butter to make a paste. Tip the biscuits into the prepared pan and press them into the base and up the sides of the pan. Leave to set in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, for the caramel, put the remaining melted butter and the light brown sugar into a heavy saucepan and cook over low heat for 5 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved. Add the condensed milk and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes, or until it turns a deep brown color. Keep stirring constantly so the caramel doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. Set aside.
Step 5
Remove the biscuit-base-lined pan from the fridge and spread the bottom with an even layer of the caramel, then slice the bananas and arrange in a single layer on top. Whip the cream and powdered sugar in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or in a bowl using electric beaters until soft peaks form, then spread with the back of a spoon or offset spatula, or pipe it into a thick layer over the bananas. Sprinkle the chocolate shavings (if using) over the whipped cream and leave to chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or until firm. Serve.

Almost nothing in the recipe (besides the whipped cream) happened as the recipe described. The amount of butter was insane; I cut back on it and I was still having "weeping" through the bottom of the tart pan through the two refrigeration stages. The condensed milk is not going to turn brown after only two minutes of boiling, there's still too much water in the sugar and milk that haven't boiled off yet. I probably went for ten minutes cooking time. It barely turned color, and it started curdling the milk proteins. And it was slathered with a layer of butter i had to pour off it was so much. My toffee layer ended up at hard crack stage, which I had to warn anyone eating it at our potluck picnic. Maybe English condensed milk is different? There was nothing dulce de leche about this recipe.
