Banoffee Pie Day
Welcome to my blog everyone! Today, I will bring you a recipe that I myself tomorrow will be making for pudding. I'm going bananas over what the secret ingredient is!
Ingredients:
- 75g or 3 oz unsalted butter
- 200g or 7 oz any type of sweet biscuit (preferably digestives)
- 150g or 5.5 oz soft brown sugar
- Another 150g or 5.5 oz unsalted butter
- 1 x 397g can condensed milk
- pinch of sea salt flakes
- 2 ripe bananas
- 150ml or 1/4 pint double or whipped cream
- 100g or 3.5 oz bar milk chocolate, grated (optional)
Method:
Make the biscuit base first. Melt the butter in a medium-sized pan. Put the biscuits into a food bag and crush with a rolling pin until fine in a food processor.Tip the biscuit crumbs into the melted butter until evenly coated. Pour the mixture into the centre of a 23cm/ 9 inch loose-bottomed tart tin. Then press the mixture firmly over the bottom of the tin and up the sides. Move the base to the fridge to chill for about 30 minutes, until firm.While the base cools, make the caramel. Heat the brown sugar and butter together in a pan over a medium heat until the butter melts and the sugar has dissolved. At first the sugar and butter won’t mix, but keep stirring. As the sugar melts, it will come together.Take the set biscuit base out of the fridge and pour the caramel onto the biscuit base. Transfer to the fridge and leave to cool completely.When ready to serve, slice the bananas and layer them over the set caramel. Pour the cream into a large bowl, and whip with electric hand whisks until thickened but not stiff.Use a spoon to scoop the cream over the bananas.Grate the chocolate over the top of the pie (if chocolate is wanted).Remove the pie from the tart tin, by placing the tin on top of an upturned bowl, then sliding the edge of the tin down. Move the bowl out of the way, then slide the banoffee pie off the tin base and onto a board or plate. It’s now ready to serve up!And there you have it folks! There is a wonderful recipe that even I will try. I'm sure my Nanna would love to make it. Here you go Nanna! Thanks and bye!
