Ok the weekend is almost over however I think ill treat myself to something indulgent. As I am not calorie counting then it has to be one of my faves and banoffi springs to the top of the list! Easy to make and approx 1million calories it is the winner for today’s treat.
Ingredients
- 1 400g tin of condensed milk
- 2-3 large bananas
- 1 pack digestives (chocolate or plain)
- 300 ml whipping cream
- 30 g dark chocolate (70%cocoa is best)
- 4 tbsp of butter, melted
How to prepare
Boil the unopened can of condensed milk
In a large pot bring to the boil enough water to comfortable cover the can of condensed milk. Simmer the can for 2 hours in a covered pan. Ensure that the water does not go below the can as this may explode! After 2 hours remove from heat and leave aside to cool
To prepare the biscuit base
Crush your chosen biscuits in a plastic bag, place in a bowl and pour over melted butter stir well then place into a 7” spring loaded cake tin and firmly press down firmly the chill for 15 minutes
Time to fill the pie
Peel the bananas, and chop them into thin slices. Put the banana slices on top of the biscuit and flatten them out. Open the tin of condensed milk, pour it over the top of the bananas and spread it over evenly. Chill for another 15 minutes
Pour the cream into the large bowl and using the electric whisk, whip until stiff. Spoon the whipped cream over the top and smooth out evenly.
Take the banoffi pie out of the fridge and finely grate the chocolate over the top. Open the seal of the cake tin, run a knife around the inside and finally, remove the tin completely.
Enjoy!
