A very British dessert, combining bananas with toffee and layering with digestive biscuits and whipped cream. YUM!
Ingredients
- 10-15 digestive biscuits crushed in a processor
- 2 tbsp. butter
- 1 tin sweetened condensed milk made into dulce de leche (see below for instructions)
- 4-5 bananas
- 1 cup whipping cream, whipped
- crushed cadbury flakes or grated chocolate
Instructions
For the Dulce de Leche –
Make it into toffee using this method. Remove label from tin then without opening the can just put it in pressure cooker with about one and half liters of water. Close the pressure cooker and boil for 40-50 mins. Then let the pressure cooker cool down COMPLETELY before opening, and then let the sweet milk tin cool as well completely before opening it. IF YOU OPEN IT WHEN IT’S HOT IT CAN SPLASH OUT HOT TOFFEE! Be careful.
First, heat the butter in a pan and add the crushed digestives. Stir together. Switch off, then pour the biscuit crumbs into a dish and pat down flat.
Cover with cling film and refrigerate for a couple of hours to solidify the base slightly. Then open the sweet milk tin which will now be thick yummy toffee, spread this on the biscuit layer. Then slice bananas and lay them all over the toffee. Finally pour the whipped cream and sprinkle the chocolate.
Refrigerate until chilled and serve!
You might not need to use the full can of toffee made from the condensed milk, depending on your sweet tooth. But the remaining stores very well in the fridge and works beautifully drizzled over other desserts like cake or ice-cream. 🙂
If you don’t have a pressure cooker, follow this method. Pierce 2 holes on opposite sides of the top of your can and remove the label. Then put the can into a pan and add water. The water should reach three-quarters of the can. Bring to the boil and keep boiling for 3 hours for a soft toffee or 4 hours for a thick toffee. Keep checking the water content/level in your pan, and add whenever it starts reducing.

salam …i have tried many of ur recipes n dey turned out great…wanted to know if i can use marie biscuits instead of digestive ….plz reply soon….JAZAKALLAH !
W/Salaam, thank you. Yes I believe you can although if you can get digestives better use those as they give best results. Have personally never tried with Marie biscuits.
Hi..is dere any alternative for butter/maragarine as I dnt hav dem now nd wanna make banoffe pie?Thanks
Hi, no you really need either butter or margarine (preferably butter) for best results.
Hi is there name for these digestives ?i mean how can I find them in supermarket
Hi, that is the name they go by. Digestive cookies. 🙂
The dessert came out really well Fauzia but I faced one small problem. Please guide me on this!
I used 10 digestive cookies & 2 tbsps unsalted butter, melted. I let it set in the fridge for 4 hours before layering with toffee and bananas. Then after topping it and again chilling it for 2 more hours, When I cut into it, the cookie layer crumbled and didn’t stay together !!
What did I do wrong? Please do let me know .
Thanks.
The cookie layer does tend to crumble slightly when cut, you can try baking the base for a few minutes and see if that helps.
Also I wanted to know whether I should be using salted or unsalted butter for this recipe? And how much is tbsps of butter?
If you could answer to my queries , I would really appreciate it.
Thank you 🙂
I prefer unsalted butter, but either will be fine.
Thank you so much for replying to all my queries. It will be very helpful in the future.
I’m sorry .. I meant to ask you how much is 2 tbsps of butter?
Each tbsp is 15gm, so around 30gm. 🙂
assalamualaikum warahmatullah! very appreciating recipies. really very enjoying n learning 4rm ur guidns
salaam…. I was just wondering whether have you used a small tin of condensed milk or the big one? and if i have to use a small one for how long do i have to cook it in a normal pan?
W/Salaam, I normally use the 14oz can. Just under 400gm.
is it ok to make the candy 2-3 days earlier ?
Yes that is fine.
should i put the weight on
should i put the whistle on the pressure cooker or just boil closed without it.
Boil with the weight on.
Boil with the weight on.

It should be fine for about 4
It should be fine for about 4-5 days provided the banana slices are covered well with the toffee/condensed milk (so that they do not get discoloured. 🙂
