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?
Place cookie crumbs, sugar, and butter in a large bowl and stir with a fork until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press crust into a 9” pie plate until it’s very compact.
Bake for 8 minutes or until just starting to brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
Melt butter and brown sugar over low heat, stirring constantly until sugar is completely dissolved. Stir sweetened condensed milk into the pan and bring to a boil, continuing to stir continuously. Let boil for 1 minute for a thick, golden caramel and remove from heat.
Pour caramel into cooled crust and spread evenly. Place in fridge and allow to cool for at least an hour.
In a large bowl whip cream, sugar, and vanilla together until stiff peaks form. Fold in some chopped bananas, if desired.
Slice bananas and place in a single layer over the caramel. Top with the whipped cream and garnish with chocolate chips, shavings, or cocoa powder.
