A heavenly no-bake Banoffee Pie featuring a crisp biscuit crust, a luscious layer of dulce de leche, fresh banana slices, and a generous topping of whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

Ingredients

  • For the Crust:

  • 1 3/4 cups (about 200g) digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed

  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted

  • For the Filling:

  • 1 (14-ounce) can dulce de leche (or sweetened condensed milk, boiled)

  • 3-4 ripe but firm bananas, sliced

  • 1 1/2 cups (360ml) heavy cream, cold

  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • For Garnish:

  • Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder

Directions

  • Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed biscuits and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
  • Add Dulce de Leche: Once the crust is chilled, spread the dulce de leche evenly over the bottom of the crust.
  • Layer Bananas: Arrange the sliced bananas in a single layer over the dulce de leche. You can overlap them slightly.
  • Whip the Cream: In a large, chilled bowl, beat the cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat.
  • Top the Pie: Spoon or pipe the whipped cream over the banana layer, spreading it to the edges.
  • Garnish and Chill: Garnish with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder. Chill the pie for at least 2-4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving. This allows the layers to set and the flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

    • DIY Dulce de Leche: If you can’t find dulce de leche, you can make your own by boiling a can of sweetened condensed milk. Just be sure the can is fully submerged in water and boil for 2-3 hours (check water level regularly), letting it cool completely before opening. It’s a fun little kitchen adventure!
    • Preventing Banana Browning: To keep your banana slices looking fresh, toss them gently in a tablespoon of lemon juice before layering them onto the pie. This simple trick won’t affect the flavor much but will make your Banoffee Pie look pristine for longer.
    • Crust Perfection: For an even firmer crust, consider baking it empty for 8-10 minutes at 350°F (175°C) before chilling and filling. Let it cool completely before adding the dulce de leche. This also adds a delightful toasted flavor to the biscuit base.
