Gordon Ramsay’s Banoffee Pie is a classic British dessert featuring a biscuit crust layered with caramel (toffee), sliced bananas, and whipped cream. It’s easy to prepare yet incredibly delicious, offering a perfect balance of sweet and creamy flavors with a buttery crunch.

Ingredients

For the Base:

  • Digestive biscuits – 250g, crushed, for a buttery crust.
  • Butter – 100g, melted, to bind the crust.

For the Filling:

  • Sweetened condensed milk – 1 tin (400g), to make caramel.
  • Bananas – 3 large, ripe but firm, for layering.

For the Topping:

  • Whipping cream – 300ml, whipped to soft peaks.
  • Dark chocolate – 50g, grated, for garnish (optional).
  • Cocoa powder – For dusting (optional).

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Biscuit Base

  • Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-lock bag and rolling with a rolling pin.
  • Mix the crushed biscuits with the melted butter until evenly combined.
  • Press the mixture into the base of a springform or tart tin, spreading it evenly and pressing firmly with the back of a spoon.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set.

Step 2: Prepare the Caramel

  • Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a saucepan and heat gently over low heat, stirring continuously.
  • Cook for 8–10 minutes until the mixture thickens and turns a golden caramel color. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 3: Assemble the Pie

  • Spread the caramel evenly over the chilled biscuit base.
  • Slice the bananas and arrange them in a single layer over the caramel.

Step 4: Add the Cream Topping

  • Whip the cream to soft peaks and spread it gently over the bananas.

Step 5: Garnish and Chill

  • Sprinkle grated dark chocolate on top or dust with cocoa powder for garnish.
  • Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
