Banoffee Pie is chock-full of fresh bananas, thick caramel, shortbread, whipped cream, and topped with chocolate-- what more could you want from a pie?
What is Banoffee Pie?
Banoffee = Bananas + Toffee. It starts with a crunchy shortbread crust, followed by a rich, thick and luxurious caramel sauce, topped with fresh slices of bananas and copious amount of whipped cream. Sounds good, eh?
What Are The Origins of Banoffee Pie?
Banoffee pie was invented in Brittain in 1971 atย The Hungry Monk Restaurantย in East Sussex. The owner and his chef were trying to perfect a recipe for an Americanย "coffee toffee" pie and the final result was this banana version. It's been a classic recipe ever since.
Cooking Tips for Making the BEST Banoffee Pie
- Use name-brand sweetened condensed milk for the caramel layer. Budget sweetened condensed milks sometimes contain stabilizers that prevent the caramel from setting up as it should. I've tested this recipe with both Eagle Brand and Nestle (Carnation) with good results.
- Boil the filling for at least 1 minute, stirring constantly to be sure the caramel sets up as it should. Nobody likes a runny pie.
- Bake your pie crust-- some cookie crust recipes assure you that they do not need to be baked to stay crunchy. I like to make sure my crust stays crisp by baking it before filling-- about 8 minutes. The contrast between the crisp crust, soft caramel, bananas, and light whipped cream really makes this banoffee pie magical!
- Use Heavy Whippingย Cream-- When shopping for whipping cream in the dairy aisle of your grocery store, look for the term "Heavy" on the label. This simply means that it has a higher fat content and will be better for whipping. The extra fat allows the cream to whip stiffer and be more stable.
Can Banoffee Pie Be Made in Advance?
Yes, but fresh bananas are always better. If you'd like to make this in advance, omit the step of stirring chopped bananas into the whipped cream as these bananas in the whipped cream brown easily. If you'd really like to thwart brown bananas you can spritz the slices with a little bit of lemon juice before layering on the caramel.

I'm still in the process (of chilling), but you should check your condensed milk after one hour. Mine required 1 hour and 20 minutes dinosaur game. I went to check it after reading reviews, and it was completed! Make sure it is thick, deeper in color, and smells good by stirring it.
