Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Small Saucepan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Springform Tin
  • Small Knife
  • Spatula
  • Fridge

Ingredients
  

  • 250 g DIGESTIVE BISCUITS
  • 100 g UNSALTED BUTTER
  • 397 g CONDENSED MILK
  • 100 g DARK BROWN SUGAR
  • 50 g UNSALTED BUTTER for toffee
  • 3 large BANANAS
  • 300 ml DOUBLE CREAM
  • 1 tsp VANILLA EXTRACT
  • 25 g DARK CHOCOLATE

Instructions
 

Step 1:

  • Place the biscuits in the food processor. Pulse them until they look like sand. You do not want big chunks.

Step 2:

  • Melt the butter in your small saucepan. Use a very low heat for this. Do not let the butter brown.

Step 3:

  • Pour the butter into the biscuit crumbs. Stir them until they are well coated. It should look like wet sand.

Step 4:

  • Press the mixture into the cake tin. Use a spoon to pack it down. Make sure the base is very firm.

Step 5:

  • Put the tin in the fridge now. Let it chill for thirty minutes. This keeps the base from breaking.

Step 6:

  • Add butter and sugar to a pan. Melt them together over a medium heat. Stir them constantly so they blend.

Step 7:

  • Pour in the can of condensed milk. Bring the mixture to a rapid boil. Keep stirring for about five minutes.

Step 8:

  • The toffee will become thick and dark. Pour it over the chilled biscuit base. Spread it out with your spatula.

Step 9:

  • Let the toffee layer cool down completely. You can put it in the fridge. This takes about one hour to set.

Step 10:

  • Peel and slice the fresh bananas. Place them on top of the toffee. Cover the whole surface with fruit.

Step 11:

  • Whip the double cream and vanilla together. It should form soft, thick peaks. Do not over-whip the cream.

Step 12:

  • Spoon the cream over the banana layer. Use a spoon to make pretty swirls. It should look very light and airy.

Step 13:

  • Grate the dark chocolate over the cream. This adds a very nice finishing touch. It makes the pie look professional.

Step 14:

  • Chill the pie for one more hour. This makes it very easy to slice. Serve it cold to your guests.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for the best sweet flavor.
  • Chill the biscuit base so it stays firm.
  • Stir the toffee constantly to prevent burning.
  • Do not over-whip the double cream topping.
  • Use a warm knife for very clean slices.
  • A springform tin helps release the pie easily.
  • Add a pinch of salt to the toffee.
  • Make the pie a few hours before serving.
  • Keep the bananas in a single flat layer.
  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for the topping.
