Description

This banoffee pie recipe with Cocoa Drizzle Top is an impressive yet easy dessert, featuring a delightful combination of fresh bananas, rich caramel, velvety cream, and a hint of chocolate, perfect for quick yet indulgent family dinners or entertaining.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 cups (150g) finely crushed digestive biscuits or graham crackers
  • 6 Tbsp (85g) melted unsalted butter
  • One 14-ounce (397g) can dulce de leche
  • 34 ripe, firm medium bananas, sliced 0.25-inch thick
  • 1.5 cups (360ml) cold heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp (10g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 12 tsp melted unsalted butter or milk

Instructions

  1. Prep the Crust: Crush biscuits finely. Mix with melted butter. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie dish. Chill 30 minutes to set; crust will feel firm.
  2. Layer Dulce de Leche: Spread room-temperature dulce de leche evenly over the chilled crust. (If too firm, warm can in hot water for 5 minutes.) It should look smooth.
  3. Slice and Arrange Bananas: Slice bananas 0.25-inch thick. Arrange in a single layer over the dulce de leche. This layer adds sweet freshness.
  4. Whip the Cream: In a cold bowl, whip heavy cream with vanilla until stiff peaks form. The cream will be airy. Gently spread this over the bananas.
  5. Add Cocoa Drizzle Top: Whisk cocoa powder with melted butter or milk to a thick paste. Drizzle artfully over the cream with a spoon.
  6. Chill Pie: Refrigerate uncovered for 1 hour to set cream. Cover loosely, then chill at least 4 hours or overnight for best slicing.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free biscuits for the crust. A pinch of sea salt in the crust or over the dulce de leche enhances all the sweet notes. The pie can be prepared the night before for easy entertaining.
