Hope you enjoy this -- it's a recipe I picked up in England.
Banoffi Pie
An English favourite, with many variations possible. A useful dessert as
it can be prepared in advance and frozen. Bring it out an hour or two
before serving.
Ingredients
Pie Shell
4 oz. butter
9 oz. ginger biscuits, crushed
Toffee
1 can sweeted condensed milk
6 oz. butter
6 oz. fruit sugar
Filling
3 bananas
1 2 pint whipping cream
grated chocolate or instant coffee powder
Method
Pie Shell: Melt the butter, mix in the ginger biscuit crumbs. Press into a
loose bottomed pie plate. Use a fluted pan if possible. Chill.
Melt the butter, add the sugar and milk and heat for about 5 minutes,
stirring constantly, till it changes to a light golden caramel colour.
Cool slightly.
Pour toffee into pie shell. Chill. Slice 2 bananas over the toffee.
Spread whipped cream over the mixture. Decorate with more banana slices.
Sprinkle with grated chocolate or dust lightly with instant coffee powder.
