Banoffee Pie

Banoffee Pie is a decadent scrumptious no bake dessert with crunchy biscuit crust, banana, dulce de leche and whipped cream. It is easy, quick to make, vegetarian and great option as summer dessert.

A very good evening to all my dear readers!! I have got such a sweet tooth that I just can’t resist any sweet or dessert. One such classic dessert which is my all time favourite is “Banoffee Pie“.

Banoffee Pie is an English dessert consisting of layers of biscuits, toffee ( or caramelised condensed milk “Dulce De Leche‘), bananas and whipped cream. The highlight of this dessert is delicious combination of bananas and toffee and hence its given the name”Banoffee” pie. My curiosity about the origin and the invention of this recipe made me dig into some of the websites on internet.

As per the various internet sources, this dessert was invented in Britain at the “The Hungry Monk Restaurant”  by owner Nigel Mackenzie and chef Ian Dowding in East Sussex in year 1971. The pie eventually became so popular that it even made its place in dictionary “A filling for pie consisting of toffee and banana”.

There are other version available with this dessert including chocolate, ganache or coffee but I prefer sticking to the old classic version as it is truly said “Old is Gold” :D. The toffee in this recipe is made using sweetened condensed milk. The condensed milk post caramelisation is called “Dulce De Leche“. Dulce-De-Leche is made by heating condensed milk such that that its taste & colour starts resembling caramel.

I have tried to break the Banoffee Pie recipe in several steps. Hope you would like it !!
