If I have to choose one last thing to eat before I die it would be something with the combination of chocolate, caramel, cinnamon and peanuts. The best.This version of the banoffee pie contains all of these ingredients. I don’t think you can go wrong with this pie. I use the ingredient list as a guideline but I don’t think it will matter if you play around with the amounts. If you feel like more chocolate, go for it! I often do..
- 300 grams cinnamon biscuits (Bastogne)
- 100 grams butter
- 1 tins condensed milk
- sea salt
- 33 ml double cream
- 2 bananas (ripe)
- 100 grams chocolate
Boil the tins of condensed milk for about 2.5 hours to make the caramel. Make sure the can is always completely submerged.
Melt the butter and add crushed biscuits, spread on the base of a loose bottomed tin. Pour a first layer of caramel onto the biscuit base. I always like to add some sea salt to it. Make a layer of thinly slices bananas and poor the rest of the caramel on top. Melt the chocolate with a little bit of cream and poor it over the caramel. Let it cool down before you whip the cream and spoon it over the bananas.
Finish it with some chopped peanuts, pecan nuts or any other you like.
