Banoffee Pie Recipe

350 g/12 oz/1 large can of sweetened condensed milk
200 g/7 oz/1 small packet of plain biscuits (cookies), crushed
50 g/2 oz butter, melted
2 bananas, sliced
300 ml double (heavy) cream
30 ml/2 tbsp caster (superfine) sugar

15 ml/1 tbsp instant coffee powder or granules
Drinking (sweetened) chocolate powder or grated chocolate, to decorate

Method:

Put the unopened can of condensed milk in a saucepan of boiling water and simmer for at least 3 hours,
keeping the can submerged all the time. Allow to cool in the water. (It's worth boiling several cans at a time, then storing in the cupboard until ready to use.)

Mix the biscuit crumbs with the butter and press into a 20 cm/8 in flan tin (pie pan). Chill until firm. Spread the cold caramelized milk on the base. Top with banana slices. Whip together the cream, sugar and coffee and spread or pipe over the bananas. Sprinkle with drinking chocolate powder or grated chocolate and chill until ready to serve.
