Banoffee pie is essentially a toffee and banana flavoured dessert. The toffee makes it silky decadent and bananas with cream add to the taste. On my anniversary I decided to don the chefs hat and make this dessert for him and it was as good as the one available at bakeries. If you make Dulche de Leche or the toffee in advance it takes just 20 mins to make this decadent dessert. Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients:
200 gms digestive biscuits
3 spoons unsalted butter
3 spoons Dulche de Leche (recipe in end)
1 banana
Whipped cream
Chocolate shavings
Method:
- Crumble biscuits in a grinder and add melted butter.
- Now on a greased glass bowl make a base with this mixture. Make sure its even. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or till its set.
- Apply a liberal layer of Dulche de Leche.
- Place banana slices.
- Top with whipped cream.
- Sprinkle chocolate shavings on top and refrigerate.
