Delicious banoffee pie

Banoffee pie is incredibly rich and delicious. It is definitely a treat, and a wonderfully indulgent dessert. Try making individual servings in ramekins, muffin cases or small glasses to keep the portion size manageable. They look great as individual servings too!

Base:

  • 150g butter
  • 1 packet of gingernuts

Melt the butter and crush the gingernuts in a food processor. Combine and press into a springform cake tin (lined) if you are making just one, or into individual dishes. Chill.

Filling:

  • 125g butter
  • 1 can of condensed milk
  • 2 tbsp golden syrup

Melt these three ingredients together and simmer very gently for 5 minutes, stirring frequently (this is very prone to burning, don’t leave it unattended!). Pour over the base/s and chill.

To assemble:

  • 300ml whipped cream
  • Sliced bananas
  • Chocolate, shaved to garnish

Once the filling has chilled, placed sliced banana on top, then cover with whipped cream (this will prevent the banana browning), and sprinkle with chocolate. Yum!
