Grown Up Banoffee Pie Recipes

BANOFFEE PIE

Steps:

• Place a whisk and mixing bowl in the freezer to cool, 10 to 20 minutes.
• Place bananas in the bottom of the pie crust and drizzle 5 ounces caramel syrup over top. Reserve remaining caramel syrup for garnish.
• Remove whisk and mixing bowl from the freezer. Place whipping cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla in the chilled bowl. Mix rapidly with the whisk until peaks form leaving a stiff whipped cream; do not overmix.
• Spread whipped topping over the bananas and pie crust. Drizzle remaining caramel over top in a circular or zigzag motion for effect. Place in the refrigerator or freezer until whipped topping has firmed up, 15 to 30 minutes before serving.

MARY BERRY'S BANOFFEE PIE

Steps:

• Line the base of a deep 20cm/8in spring form tin with baking paper.
• To make the base, crush the biscuits to fine crumbs and melt the butter over a low heat. Pour into a bowl and mix to combine. Spoon into the base of the tin and press down with the back of a spoon until level. Place in the fridge for 15 minutes.
• To make the filling, heat the butter and sugar in a small non-stick saucepan and stir over a low heat until combined. Add the condensed milk and bring to the boil, stirring for 2-3 minutes - do not over-boil or it will become grainy and fudge-like. Add the vanilla and pour into the tin. Place in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
• Whip the cream in a bowl until soft peaks form.
• Arrange the banana slices in neat rounds on top of the toffee. Spoon or pipe the cream on top and level. Set in the fridge for an hour.
• Remove from the tin, and zig zag the melted chocolate over the top or dust with cocoa powder.

EASY BANOFFEE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Pour condensed milk into a pie pan and cover tightly with foil for the caramel. Place in a larger pan. Add hot water to the pan but keep it below the top of the pie pan; you don't want to get any water into the milk.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the caramel is thick and brown, about 1 hour.
• Remove from the oven and transfer caramel to a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Pour into the graham cracker crust, cover, and cool in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
• Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until frothy. Add sugar gradually, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Mix in vanilla.
• Remove pie crust and caramel from the refrigerator. Cover caramel completely with banana slices. Spread whipped cream over top and sprinkle lightly with cocoa powder. Cover and chill until ready to serve.

NEXT LEVEL BANOFFEE PIE

Steps:

• Whizz the biscuits to crumbs in a food processor or put in a strong plastic bag and bash with a rolling pin. Add the butter and whizz again briefly, then tip the buttery crumbs into a 22cm fluted tart tin. Use the back of a spoon to press the crumbs into the tin and up the sides until the whole case is lined. Chill for at least 10 mins.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 8. Halve the bananas lengthways and tip into a shallow roasting tray or baking dish. Squeeze over the lime juice, scatter with the brown sugar and bake in the oven for 15-20 mins until caramelised. Leave to cool slightly, then thoroughly mash and spread evenly over the tart base.
• Tip the caramel into a saucepan, bring to a simmer and bubble for a few minutes to thicken. Add a pinch of flaky sea salt. Crush the banana chips using a rolling pin on a chopping board. Take the pan off the heat and stir in most of the banana chips, then spread the mixture over the banana layer and put back in the fridge for at least 4 hrs to set.
• To make the peanut butter cream, beat the peanut butter with the icing sugar and 140ml of the cream until smooth. Whisk the rest of the cream until it just holds its shape, then fold through the peanut butter cream to ripple. Top the tart with pillows of the whipped cream. Scatter with the rest of the crushed banana chips and serve.
