Quick and easy Banoffee Pie

This is so easy and so quick but ridiculously  delicious, everyone will love it.

You will need
  • A loaf tin
  • Tin foil
  • 1 banana
  • Half a pack of digestive biscuits you could use ginger nut of both
  • 350g of salted butter
  • A tin of Carnation caramel
  • 300ml of Double  or Whipping cream
  • 45g of dark chocolate



  1. Line your tin with foil making sure there is excess over the sides of the tin, this will help you lift the pie out once its set. Put the tin in the fridge until you are ready to fill it.
  2. Melt your butter in a pan on a low heat.
  3. Crush your biscuits. You can use a blender to make it fine, or place the biscuit in a double food bag and crush them carefully.
  4. The butter should now be completely melted, add the biscuit and make sure the butter is thoroughly mixed in.
  5. Line the bottom of your tin (1cm thick)  with the biscuit mix making sure it’s pressed in firmly. Place it in the fridge to cool down whilst you prepare the toppings.
  6. You will need an electric whisk to whip the cream into soft peaks unless you have a bakers arm, being careful not to over whip it or it will split and you won’t be able to use it. As you’re whisking it check it every 5 seconds after it starts to firm up.
  7. Slice the banana into 1 cm thick pieces and place on top of the biscuit.
  8. Layer the Caramel on top of the banana (2cm thick layer )
  9. Layer your cream on top this should reach the rim of the tin.
  10. Place this back in the fridge.
  11. Melt a tea spoon of butter and the chocolate in a pan, on a low heat.
  12. Use the chocolate to decorate the top of you pie

You could grate the chocolate on top if you don’t want to melt it. its great either way.

This should take you around 15 minutes and you can leave it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
if it lasts that long.
