Banoffee Pie

I decided to make a banoffee pie this week, i saw it in a recipe book and remembered how much i used to love it when i was younger. Using the recipe i saw; i made this delicious banoffee pie. It is filled with a sticky toffee filling and covered in cream and chocolate, and is totally delicious, all of my family loved it!

The only banana is on the top but it gives a refreshing taste when eating it along side the extremely sweet toffee filling. If i made it again i would put more banana slices on top or even add a banana layer into the pie.

Ingredients:

•175g ginger biscuits

•65g butter

•100g butter

•100g light muscavado sugar

•800g condensed milk

•300ml double cream

•1 large banana

•grated milk or white chocolate.

Method:

For the base, put the ginger biscuits into a large bowl and crush with one end of a rolling pin. melt the butter in a small pan; remove from heat and stir in the crushed biscuits. Mix well, then spread the mixture over the base and sides of the flan tin, pressing it with the back of a metal spoon to make it firm.

Put the butter and light muscavado sugar in a roomy non-stick pan. Heat gently until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved; then add the condensed milk. stir continuously and evenly with a flat ended wooden spatula for about 5 mins or until the mixture is thick and a golden toffee colour - take care as it burns easily. turn it into the prepared crumb crust and leave to cool and set.

For the topping, whip the double cream until it just holds its shape and spread it evenly over the cold toffee mixture. Peel and slice the banana, and pile them in the middle of the cream. Dust the whole pie with grated chocolate. Serve chilled.
