Ingredients for Banoffee Pie

For the base:

• 250g plain sweet biscuits (e.g. digestive or similar)

• 125g melted butter

For the filling:

• 1 can caramel or dulce de leche

• 3–4 ripe bananas

For the topping:

• 300ml thickened cream

• 1–2 tablespoons icing sugar (optional)

Optional:

• Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for topping

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the base
   Crush the biscuits finely and mix with melted butter. Press firmly into the base of a lined pie dish. Chill in the fridge for at least 10 minutes to set.

2. Add the caramel
   Spread the caramel evenly over the chilled biscuit base.

3. Layer the bananas
   Slice the bananas and arrange them evenly over the caramel layer.

4. Whip the cream
   Whip the cream until soft peaks form. Sweeten lightly if desired.

5. Assemble and chill
   Spoon or pipe the whipped cream over the bananas. Chill until ready to serve.

6. Finish and serve
   Top with chocolate shavings or cocoa if using. Slice and serve cold.
