What Is Banoffee Pie? Banoffee pie is a British dessert made with banana slices, whipped cream, and a caramel sauce. The original recipe, created in 1971, is attributed to the owner and chef of Hungry Monk Restaurant in Sussex. Its name is a combination of the words “banana” and “toffee.” Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Banoffee Pie Ingredients These are the ingredients you’ll need to make a British banoffee pie recipe: Dulce de leche: Use canned dulce de leche or make your own at home.

Ginger: Ground ginger is optional, but it adds depth to the graham cracker crust. Butter: Melted butter lends moisture and helps hold the crust together.

Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise “Absolutely FABULOUS,” raves JennyM. “Great texture and flavor. The family LOVED it!!!” "Made baby portions in ramekins [instead of in a pie crust] and it turned out fantastic,” says Paddy O'Dea. “Substituted Hobnobs instead of graham crackers. I'm now asked at every dinner party if I can make mini banoffees.” “This is so simple to make and delicious,” according to wbalelo. “I thought it would be too sweet, but the plain whipped cream on top actually helps to balance it out. Because of that, I do not recommend using Cool Whip or any other pre-made whipped topping.” Editorial contributions by Corey Williams Cook Mode (Keep screen awake) Ingredients 1x 2x 4x Oops!
