How Do You Make a Banoffee Pie

    Crush biscuits using a food processor or rolling pin. Mix with melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the pie dish. Chill for 15 minutes.
  2. Make the toffee
    Pour condensed milk into a saucepan. Simmer gently for 10–15 minutes, stirring often, until thick and golden. Cool slightly.
  3. Assemble the layers
    Spread the toffee over the crust. Add banana slices on top.
  4. Whip the cream
    In a bowl, beat heavy cream with sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Spread over bananas.
  5. Decorate and chill
    Sprinkle chocolate or drizzle caramel on top. Chill for 1 hour before serving.

Tips for Success

  • Don’t overheat the condensed milk or it can burn.
  • Use ripe but firm bananas for better texture.
  • Chill before slicing for neat servings.

How to Adapt This Recipe for Thanksgiving

Turn this classic pie into a festive Thanksgiving treat by giving it a warm, seasonal twist:

  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the toffee for a cozy flavor.
  • Top the whipped cream with crushed pecans or drizzle maple syrup instead of caramel.
  • For a pumpkin spin, mix two tablespoons of pumpkin puree into the toffee layer before assembling.
  • Serve it alongside your favorite fall desserts—it fits right in next to pumpkin and pecan pie.

Final Note

Banoffee pie is proof that bananas and caramel were meant to be together. It’s the kind of dessert that makes you forgive yourself for eating a second slice… or maybe a third.
