Banoffee Pie

Banoffee Pie is a delicious and rich dessert that can seem daunting to prepare initially, but it is relatively simple once you understand the process. The most common issues people run into when making this dish usually relate to making the toffee and the consistency of the cream. Many people make the mistake of not boiling the condensed milk long enough to get a good toffee consistency, resulting in a runny filling. Moreover, beating cream to the right consistency required for this pie can also be tricky. To get the most out of this dish, it is crucial to use ripe bananas as the base. Also, layer your pie starting with a biscuit base, followed by toffee, bananas and topped with whipped cream. This will give the perfect balance of texture and flavor for each bite. A little-known tip about making Banoffee Pie is chilling the biscuit base for at least an hour before adding the toffee, this really helps to hold the pie together and prevent crumbling when slicing. Another tip is adding a pinch of sea salt in the toffee for a subtle flavour enhancement.
