Steve decided to rummage through our tin cupboard yesterday, to see just what was hanging around in there. He found a variety of things, had a look on Google to see what he could make with them and then stumbled across this recipe on AllRecipes and adapted it just a little to make it his own.
Ingredients
Base: 100g (3.5 oz) butter, melted
250g (9 oz) digestive biscuits
Filling: 100g (3.5 oz) butter
100g (3.5 oz) dark brown soft sugar
397g Carnation Condensed Milk
Topping: 4 small bananas
300ml carton of double cream, lightly whipped
Grated chocolate

| Yummy! |
Preparation
Prep time: 20 minutes Extra Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
1. Grease a 20cm (8″) loose-bottomed cake tin.
2. To make the base, process the biscuits until crushed. Stir in your melted butter. Press the mixture into your cake tin, plus 4cm (1.5″) up the sides. Leave this to chill whilst making your filling.
3.Place butter and sugar into a non-stick saucepan over a slow heat. Stir until the butter melts & the sugar dissolves. Add the condensed milk and bring to the boil slowly, whilst stirring throughout. When the caramel starts to boil, remove from the heat and pour over the base. Leave to cool then chill for an hour, until it is firm
4. Serving time. Remove pie from tin and put on serving plate. Slice the bananas and fold half into the softly whipped cream. Spoon over the caramel layer. Decorate with the remaining bananas and grated chocolate.
Be aware that the prep time given above is what AllRecipes recommend, however we found that it took quite a while longer as heating the condensed milk and whipping the cream took a lot longer than you would expect.
This was absolutely delicious, although I could only manage a few mouthfuls as it was so sickly! I’m such a lucky girl!
Are you a culinary whizz in the kitchen?
My Mum used to make an amazing banoffee pie when I was little, but then she moved onto scones.
Seriously craving some now, the condensed milk is the best part.
OH SO YUMMY!

Hehe, go make it!x
Hi Carnation do their own filling for Banoffee pie, saves messing around. Also you can use a pastry case from the supermarket add Bananas and cream and voila – I am a lazy cook!!
