‘Banoffee pie is our cheer-up dish’ Nadia
NADIA SAWALHA
BANOFFEE PIE
“Banoffee pie is our cheer-up dish when it all feels a bit too much. It’s my husband Mark’s and our girls’ all-time favourite pudding. Mind you, sticky toffee pudding is right up there, too. The best thing is that our youngest daughter Kiki makes it even better than I do now, so is always happy to whip one up. I make mine in a heart-shaped tin, but if you don’t have one, that’s no problem. Use a 20cm round springform tin. Line the tin with clingfilm.”
Serves 8-10
INGREDIENTS
• 200g digestive biscuits
• 100g butter
For the caramel filling
• 75g butter
• 70g light muscovado sugar
• 1 x 397g tin of full-fat condensed milk
For the topping
• 300ml double cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2-3 bananas (I don’t like too much banana, but others do)
• Half a chocolate Flake, crumbled
(scoff the other half)
1. Blitz the biscuits in a food processor until they’re crumbs.
2. Melt the butter in a pan, add the biscuit crumbs and stir well. Press into your prepared tin with the back of a spoon until compact. Put in the fridge or freezer while you make the filling.
3. Melt the butter and sugar together in a pan, stirring until dissolved. Add the condensed milk. Bring to the boil and stir continuously until dark brown (a couple of mins). Be mindful not to boil for too long as it will spoil.
