Ingredients for Easy Banoffee Pie
For Base:
- 20 Biscuits ( i used milk bikis)
- 75 grams Butter melted

Dulce de Leche :
Dulce de leche, also known as caramelised milk or milk jam in English, is a Latin American confection made by slowly heating sugar and milk for several hours.
Ripe Bananas :
Ripe bananas are yellow in colour with brown or black spots on the surface. Bananas are sweeter and taste better than unripe bananas. As the bananas ripen, the resistant starch in the bananas converts to simple sugar.

Hi aarthi, this just looks amazing! I'm in love with your blog, you make any recipe look at ease thanks to your wonderful pictorials 🙂 I'm def going to try this out soon! Just wondering, since I'm new to chennai.. I'm looking to buy an oven (your chocoflan makes me want to get one) which oven are you using? I've had a look at a few but none have a preheat mode. Could you please help? I'm pushing my hubby to get me one by christmas. Hope to hear from you soon. Cheers 🙂

hi Aarthi, thanks for posting the recipe...looks really yummy.This is the first time I have come across your blog and I really appreciate the time an effort you put in. will surely try and let you ..... have a small query. can I use parle-g biscuits instead of the milk ones and also when you leave them overnight, is the base properly set and do you get to cut them well. do let me know. thanks a ton.
Aarthi
@Anonymousyes u can use any biscuits u like and when you press them on the pan, just press them gently and dont over press them, it may make them hard.

Hi, I'd like to know of we can use whipping cream for this? Or does it have to be fresh cream only. Thanks Minakshi.
P.s. this is my 2nd message. Hoping for a reply this time.
Aarthi
@minakshi Dixityou can use whipping cream as well..
minakshi Dixit
Hi Aarthi, thanks for the revert. Trying to make it today and I have used Puck whipping cream. I'm using a morphy Richards electric hand blender but the cream isn't becoming stiff and fluffy. What could've gone wrong?
Thanks
Aarthi
@minakshi Dixituse cold cream and chill the bowl and whipper also before whipping

Hi aarthi, I must say am a big fan of yours. I have tried many of ur recipes and they have come out so well and the taste is amazing. I am interested in making this was just wondering if using caramel carnation by nestle would also do? Is caramel and dulce de leche the same?
minakshi Dixit
Hi, thanks so much. Tried the method suggested by you to get fluffy and light cream for the pie. And it was so good even with the stick blender,which I was doubting.
Thanks again and I've made the banoffee pie twice in 2 days. It's such a hit with my family.
Aarthi
@Ahalya Jeyadevyes u can use that nestle caramel topping
