Banoffee Pie

  

 What Is Banoffee Pie? 

Banoffee pie is a British dessert made with banana slices, whipped cream, and a caramel sauce. The original recipe, created in 1971, is attributed to the owner and chef of Hungry Monk Restaurant in Sussex. Its name is a combination of the words “banana” and “toffee.” 

Ingredients

1 (13.4 ounce) can dulce de leche

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/3 cup white sugar

2 tsp ground ginger (Optional)

6 tbsp butter, melted

3 bananas, sliced

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

3 tbsp powdered sugar

chocolate shavings (Optional)

espresso powder (Optional)

Dulce de leche is a thick, rich, caramel-like confection made by slowly heating sweetened milk until it thickens and caramelizes. It has a milky flavor that is less intense and burnt-tasting than traditional caramel. It is a popular topping, filling, and ingredient used in many desserts worldwide, especially in Latin America.  

 Preparations

Gather ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) 

Mix graham cracker crumbs, white sugar, ginger (if using), and melted butter together in a medium bowl. Press mixture into an ungreased 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom or 9-inch pie pie plate. 

  

 Bake crust in a preheated oven until set, about 12 to 15 minutes. Cool crust on a wire rack for 15 minutes.  

 Spread dulce de leche in the cooled crust; arrange bananas evenly on top.

 

Beat heavy cream and powdered sugar in a large bowl until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Spread whipped cream over bananas. 

Refrigerate pie for at least 2 hours OR overnight. Sprinkle with chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, and/or espresso powder, if desired, before serving.
