Step 1: Make the Biscuit Base
- Crush the biscuits: Use a food processor or place the digestive biscuits in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin until fine crumbs form.
- Mix with butter: Combine the biscuit crumbs with melted butter in a bowl and stir until fully combined.
- Press into the tin: Transfer the biscuit mixture into the base of a loose-bottomed tart tin and press it down firmly with the back of a spoon to create an even layer. Place in the fridge to set for 30 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the Caramel Layer
- Spread the caramel: Once the biscuit base has set, spoon the caramel evenly over the base, spreading it out to cover the entire surface.
- Chill again: Place the tart back into the fridge for about 10-15 minutes to allow the caramel to firm up slightly.
Step 3: Add the Bananas
- Slice the bananas: Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds.
- Layer the bananas: Arrange the banana slices over the caramel layer, covering the entire pie base.
Step 4: Whip the Cream and Decorate
- Whip the cream: In a mixing bowl, whisk the double cream until soft peaks form.
- Top the pie: Spoon the whipped cream over the bananas and smooth it out with a spatula.
- Optional decoration: Grate dark chocolate over the top of the whipped cream for an extra touch of elegance.
Step 5: Serve
- Chill before serving: Let the pie chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow all the flavors to meld together. Slice and serve cold for best results.
