Method

Make the biscuit base

Step 1
Crush the biscuits (300 g) into fine crumbs (using a food processor or by sealing in a bag and bashing with a rolling pin).
Step 2
Stir in the melted butter (120 g) until fully coated.
Step 3
Press the mixture into the base and slightly up the sides of a 24 cm loose-bottomed tart tin.
Step 4
Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour to set.

Prepare the filling

Step 1
Spread the caramel evenly over the chilled biscuit (300 g) base.
Step 2
Slice the bananas (3 bananas) and arrange them in a single, generous layer over the caramel.

Whip the cream

Step 1
Whip the double cream (400 ml) until it holds soft peaks.
Step 2
Sweeten with icing sugar (45 g) and vanilla extract (1 tsp) if desired.

Assemble and decorate

Step 1
Spoon or pipe the whipped cream over the bananas (3 bananas).
Step 2
Finish with a dusting of cocoa powder or a grating of dark chocolate.

Serve

Step 1
Keep chilled until ready to serve. Slice with a sharp knife and enjoy.

Questions people ask

How long does no-bake banoffee pie take?

About 1 hour 15 min from start to finish. That figure is worked out from the method rather than timed with a stopwatch, so give yourself a little more the first time.

How much does this make?

The original recipe did not state a yield, so nothing has been invented for it. The scale control on the recipe card multiplies the quantities instead, which is the honest version of the same thing.

Can I see the ingredients in ounces and pints?

Yes. The metric and imperial switch on the recipe card converts every quantity, rounded to amounts you can actually weigh or measure rather than to four decimal places. Your choice is remembered for every recipe on the site.

Is it vegetarian?

Yes, as written. If you are cooking for a strict vegetarian, the one to check is the cheese: several hard cheeses are made with animal rennet.
