Ingredients to make this Banoffee Pie Recipe
-
1 (13.4 ounce) can dulce de leche
-
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
-
1/3 cup white sugar
-
2 teaspoons ground ginger (optional but adds a little warmth)
-
6 tablespoons melted butter
-
3 ripe bananas, sliced
-
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
-
3 tablespoons powdered sugar

Chocolate shavings (optional topping)

Banana
Directions
-
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and optional ginger. Pour melted butter slowly while stirring until the mixture looks evenly moist and crumbly.
-
Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a pie dish. Use the back of a spoon to flatten it so the crust holds together nicely when you cut the Banoffee pie later.
-
Spread the dulce de leche over the crust layer. Move the caramel gently so the surface stays smooth.
-
Add banana slices on top of the caramel layer. Try to cover the pie evenly so every slice of the Banoffee pie has some banana in it.
-
In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. The cream should be fluffy but still smooth.
-
Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the bananas to complete the top layer.
-
Put the Banoffee pie inside the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving so the layers can set properly.
-
Before serving, you can add chocolate shavings or a light sprinkle of espresso powder if you like extra flavor.
