Easy Banoffee Pie Recipe
Banoffee pie is originally a British dessert and has become famous everywhere because it’s so good. It is super unique and different than all the other pies you’ll see during the year!
Unlike the traditional English dessert (which has digestive biscuits as the crust), my version has a graham cracker crust. It’s completely no bake and a great mix of textures – soft bananas and caramel, crunchy crust, and fluffy cream on top. It’s heaven in a pie plate with flavors of toffee and banana.
Ingredients Needed
- Heavy Whipping Cream: No substitute since you’re making whipped cream with it.
- Graham Cracker Crust: A cookie crust so similar to the original.
- Dulce De Leche: This is a thick sweet caramel that’s made from slow cooking sweetened condensed milk.
- Bananas: Ripe bananas are the best for this recipe – get them the ripeness you like to eat them. Just past green but without too many spots.
- Dark Chocolate Shavings: Optional, but adds a nice touch on top!
How to make Banoffee Pie
- Beat heavy cream in a large bowl or stand mixer with the whisk attachment until stiff peaks form, adding the sugar and vanilla during mixing.
- Make your pie crust by crushing the crackers to fine crumbs and stirring with melted butter and sugar.
- Spread dulce de leche in the bottom of the pie crust.
- Top evenly with banana slices.
- Spread whipped cream over the top of the pie, making sure it covers all of the bananas and touches the crust, stopping air from getting into the pie. This will slow the browning of the bananas.
- Sprinkle with chocolate shavings, if desired. Chill in the fridge until ready to serve. Serve within 24 hours
Expert Tips
- Cool whip is a great alternative if you don’t want to make whipped cream.
- Don’t know how to make chocolate shavings? Take a bar of chocolate to a potato peeler or a box grater.
- You can make my delicious graham cracker crust, or you can buy yours from the store.
- The crust recipe is written for a 9-inch pie plate. You can also use a tart pan with removable bottom if you prefer.
