Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g (7 oz) digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed
  • 100g (3.5 oz) unsalted butter, melted
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 can (397g / 14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 100g (½ cup) light brown sugar
  • 50g (1.75 oz) unsalted butter
  • 120ml (½ cup) heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 medium ripe bananas
  • 300ml (1¼ cups) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • Shaved dark chocolate or cocoa powder for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust (10 minutes prep + 15 minutes chilling): Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and bashing with a rolling pin. Mix the crumbs with melted butter (and cinnamon if using) until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this evenly into the base and up the sides of your tart pan. Pop it in the fridge to chill while you make the toffee.
  2. Make the toffee layer (15-20 minutes): In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, and butter over low heat. Stir continuously with a wooden spoon to prevent sticking or burning. After the butter melts and sugar dissolves, slowly pour in the cream and add the vanilla extract. Continue stirring gently until the mixture thickens to a smooth, glossy toffee consistency. This should take about 10 minutes—watch closely to avoid scorching. Remove from heat and let it cool s…
  3. Assemble the toffee and banana layers (10 minutes): Pour the warm toffee over the chilled crust and spread evenly. Slice the ripe bananas into thin rounds and arrange them carefully on top of the toffee layer.
  4. Whip the cream topping (5-7 minutes): Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the chilled heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the banana layer, creating a fluffy, even top.
  5. Chill and serve (at least 2 hours): Refrigerate the pie for at least two hours to let the layers set and flavors meld. Before serving, garnish with shaved dark chocolate or a light dusting of cocoa powder if desired. Slice gently with a warm knife for clean edges.

Notes

Cook the toffee slowly over low heat and stir constantly to avoid burning. Chill the crust thoroughly before adding the toffee to prevent sogginess. Use a warm knife to slice the pie for clean edges. For dairy-free or gluten-free versions, substitute ingredients as suggested. Brushing banana slices with lemon juice helps prevent browning.
