Ultimate Banoffee Pie

First of all let me tell you how hard I have found making this recipe as it is my all time favorite dessert. Being on a healthy eating plan makes it impossible for me to have some (with the exception of chefs spoon licking) but you must try this, it is seriously good!

If you are so much as thinking about making this recipe, before you even look down at what to do, get a pan of boiling water on and put in an unopened can of condensed milk as this takes about 2 hours to turn into dreamy caramel & the bought stuff just does not seem to compare (even the posh stuff).

I am going the extra mile today adding home made fudge to the recipe given to me by a friend over at http://www.fishfingersfortea.blogspot.com/ although shall be posting her recipe on here in the next blog post should you wish to try it!

Method

Layer 2 (toffee)
1 can of condensed milk (400g)

Put the can into a pan of boiling water for 2 hours


Layer 1 (base)
180g digestive biscuits crushed
100g melted butter

mix these together whilst the butter is still warm and press into a foil tin (or lose bottom tin if you want a show stopper) then pop in the fridge for 40 minutes.

Layer 3 (Bananas)
30g butter
3 large bananas
3 tablespoons of rum (optional)
1 teaspoon good vanilla extract

melt the butter, add the vanilla followed by the chopped bananas, allow to soften slightly then leave to one side to cool

Layer 4 (cream)
300ml Whipping cream
1 tsp good vanilla
1 tablespoon sifted icing sugar

Combine in a bowl and whisk until starts to thicken, put into the fridge for 40 minutes.

Remove the biscuit base from the fridge & top with the caramel sauce, followed by the bananas (and chopped fudge pieces if using) then the cream topping. (I finish with some grated fudge on top)

Put into the fridge for a further 30 minutes, but take out 20 minutes before serving.


Enjoy!
