Hi Foodtubers, if you are looking for that ultimate showstopper dessert that
can be made ahead
in advance all ready to rock then this is the one for you today I am going to make
a beautiful banoffee pie really, really simple, luscious layers of
cream, sweet caramel, bananas and beautiful
buttery biscuit base very simple to make so it starts off by melting some butter
so while the butter is melting
we need to talk about biscuits I've gotta pack digestive biscuits about half
a pack up digestive biscuits it's in a little plastic bag resealable
and now all I'm going to do is bash the crap outta them until we've got nice fine crumbs
Now it is important that you get nice fine crumbs because when you push this
biscuit base
into the tin, you don't want it to lift so by having those nice fine crumbs
you'll get a beautiful smooth and even result
Pour the biscuit crumbs into a bowl, add in the melted butter and mix through
Tumble the buttery biscuits crumbs into a pie tin and press down
Now this is the bit where you can get your hands a little bit dirty
Get them in there and make sure that you have a really nice and compact base so that
nothing lifts
That is pretty much perfect
that's exactly how I want it so this goes into the fridge, it's gonna go in there
for about an hour or if you have less time that is OK too
But while it's in the fridge I'm going to get on with the rest of the ingredients
I've got some bananas we've got some crunchies we've got some cream
and we've got some caramel. Sweet beautiful banoffee goodness
Pour some cream into a bowl and whisk until you have soft peaks
and when I chose this bowl to whisk the cream in
I thought would work better but in fact it is erupting
with cream all over the kitchen counter so I'll be cleaning that up later but we'll
keep going its fine, it's fine
Now although I have most my cream on kitchen counter the one thing to remember
is not over whip your cream nobody likes that grainy cream you wanna make sure
that it's still light and voluptuous but this is pretty much perfect
We're going to chop up the bananas and my secret weapon
of banoffee pie mass destruction
is a crunchy honeycomb chocolate covered bar so delicious
and so tasty over this banoffee, chop up some crunchy chocolate covered honeycomb bars
for sprinkling over the top, that's my crunchy sorted and now we need to talk
about that caramel, it starts off with this beautiful condensed milk and then
we transform it which I've done over here into
fantastic caramel, you boil bottle the bottle
or the tin of condensed milk for two hours make sure it's continuously covered
in water otherwise it can explode and when it comes out
what i'm looking for now is a tin opener. When it comes out
what you get left with is the most beautiful, smooth and quite thick caramel that works perfectly for banoffee pie
and now check this out, this is what banoffee pie is all about
Beautiful caramel, and now I have all my ingredients ready
spread the caramel over the biscuit base
Now you don't have to be to particular about how you get your bananas in there
just get them in, nice little kind of circular motion will
do it quite nicely. Now you may not know this but
I used to be in a band and when we would do late night recording sessions
our midnight snack was always banoffee pie so I have fond memories of
eating banoffee pie with my bandmates
And this one is exactly how we used to like it.
Spread the whipped cream all over the top the bananas
finish it off with a generous mound of chocolate honeycomb pieces
check this out, a beautiful banoffee pie, all that's left to do is put this into the fridge
let it set it's ready to rock as soon as you have people over and you want to
serve it up
