Easy Banoffee Pie

This is our short cut recipe for Banoffee pie, the great english dessert. We call it short cut because we use Birds Dream Topping for the creamy part of the pie. Of course the Toffee part is made from condensed milk (either by boiling a whole can of condensed milk for 4 hours, or buying ready made condensed milk toffee!).

Banoffe pie derives from Bananas and Toffee…… Add to that a buttery digestive cheesecake style base and the dream cream topping and you have a winning Dessert combo. You can also try adding Tia Maria instead of the Coffee Essence to liven it up a little.

• Thinly slice the banana and layer the biscuit base with two layers of banana making sure to tightly pack them.
• Pour the caramel over the bananas and and spread evenly, place the tin in the fridge to chill while making the cream topping.

• Add the cream to the pie and spread evenly, dust with coco powder and chill until serving.
