Step-by-Step Instructions for Banoffee Pie
- Prepare the Biscuit Base: In a food processor, crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter. Press into the base of a tart pan and refrigerate for 1 hour to set.
- Make the Toffee Filling: In a saucepan, stir the sweetened condensed milk over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until it thickens and turns golden brown. Pour over the chilled biscuit base.
- Add the Banana Layer: Slice the ripe bananas and arrange in an even layer over the cooled toffee, pressing them into the toffee slightly.
- Whip the Cream: In a chilled bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip until soft peaks form.
- Top with Whipped Cream: Spread the whipped cream over the banana layer, smoothing it out evenly.
- Add Final Touches: Drizzle dark chocolate or dust with cocoa powder for garnish.
- Chill and Serve: Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes
Chill the base for at least an hour to prevent a soggy pie. Use ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor. Garnishing with chocolate or cocoa enhances presentation.
