This is one of my favourite recipes because there is no baking required and it hardly takes any time to prepare.  Plus, it tastes flipping delicious and it counts as 1 of your 5 a day! 

 

 

250g Digestive Biscuits
80g Melted Butter
Can Carnation Caramel
300ml Fresh Double Cream
3 Bananas (don’t slice in advance)
Chocolate for the top (optional)

 

 

To make the Banoffee Pie I’d recommend using a greased 9" loose bottomed tin so you can get it out easily.  Start by melting the butter and then blitz the biscuits or smash them up into fine crumbs.  Add the cooled butter and push down into the bottom of the tin before putting it in the fridge.

The next layer is the caramel which you could make from scratch but I love the Carnation version which comes straight out of the can and tastes delicious.  Then slice your banana, not too thin because you won’t taste it but make sure you have a good coverage.  Whisk the double cream so it’s nice and thick and then smooth it on the top of the bananas and then return to the fridge.

If you’re a chocoholic like me then you can pop a generous helping the top, it won't help your waistline but does give it an extra level of deliciousness.  Any chocolate will taste great however I opted for Galaxy Ripples which I chilled and then chopped.

 

 

And there you have a quick and easy dish ready for any occasion and if you have a sweet tooth like me then I’m certain you’ll enjoy the results.
