You need this recipe for a classic British dessert that skips the oven. This pie layers a buttery crumb crust with rich homemade toffee, fresh bananas, and fluffy whipped cream for a crowd-pleasing treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (for toffee)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for toffee)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (for toffee)
  • 3 large ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Chocolate shavings, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix the graham cracker crumbs and 6 tablespoons of melted butter until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Place the crust in the freezer while you make the toffee.
  2. Make the toffee (dulce de leche): In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, 2 tablespoons of butter, and salt. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and turns a deep golden brown color, about 10 to 15 minutes. Watch this closely to prevent burning.
  3. Pour the hot toffee evenly over the chilled crust. Let the toffee cool completely at room temperature, about 30 minutes, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour until the toffee is set.
  4. Prepare the topping: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Do not over-whip.
  5. Assemble the pie: Arrange the sliced bananas over the set toffee layer. Top the bananas with the prepared whipped cream, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.
  6. Chill the pie for at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish with chocolate shavings just before you slice and serve your best banoffee pie.

Notes

  • For a sturdier crust, use digestive biscuits instead of graham crackers, which is common in the UK.
  • If you want to skip making the toffee, use one can of pre-made dulce de leche instead.
  • To keep the bananas from browning, brush the slices lightly with lemon juice before layering them over the toffee.
