Brilliant Banoffee Pie | Donal Skehan

Hi Foodtubers, if you are looking for that ultimate showstopper dessert that can be made ahead in advance all ready to rock then this is the one for you today I am going to make a beautiful banoffee pie really, really simple, luscious layers of cream, sweet caramel, bananas and beautiful buttery biscuit base very simple to make so it starts off by melting some butter so while the butter is melting we need to talk about biscuits I've gotta pack digestive biscuits about half a pack up digestive biscuits it's in a little plastic bag resealable and now all I'm going to do is bash the crap outta them until we've got nice fine crumbs Now it is important that you get nice fine crumbs because when you push this biscuit base into the tin, you don't want it to lift so by having those nice fine crumbs you'll get a beautiful smooth and even result Pour the biscuit crumbs into a bowl, add in the melted butter and mix through Tumble the buttery biscuits crumbs into a pie tin and press down Now this is the bit where you can get your hands a little bit dirty Get them in there and make sure that you have a really nice and compact base so that nothing lifts That is pretty much perfect that's exactly how I want it so this goes into the fridge, it's gonna go in there for about an hour or if you have less time that is OK too But while it's in the fridge I'm going to get on with the rest of the ingredients I've got some bananas we've got some crunchies we've got some cream and we've got some caramel. Sweet beautiful banoffee goodness Pour some cream into a bowl and whisk until you have soft peaks and when I chose this bowl to whisk the cream in I thought would work better but in fact it is erupting with cream all over the kitchen counter so I'll be cleaning that up later but we'll keep going its fine, it's fine Now although I have most my cream on kitchen counter the one thing to remember is not over whip your cream nobody likes that grainy cream you wanna make sure that it's still light and voluptuous but this is pretty much perfect We're going to chop up the bananas and my secret weapon of banoffee pie mass destruction is a crunchy honeycomb chocolate covered bar so delicious and so tasty over this banoffee, chop up some crunchy chocolate covered honeycomb bars for sprinkling over the top, that's my crunchy sorted and now we need to talk about that caramel, it starts off with this beautiful condensed milk and then we transform it which I've done over here into fantastic caramel, you boil bottle the bottle or the tin of condensed milk for two hours make sure it's continuously covered in water otherwise it can explode and when it comes out what i'm looking for now is a tin opener. When it comes out what you get left with is the most beautiful, smooth and quite thick caramel that works perfectly for banoffee pie and now check this out, this is what banoffee pie is all about Beautiful caramel, and now I have all my ingredients ready spread the caramel over the biscuit base Now you don't have to be to particular about how you get your bananas in there just get them in, nice little kind of circular motion will do it quite nicely. Now you may not know this but I used to be in a band and when we would do late night recording sessions our midnight snack was always banoffee pie so I have fond memories of eating banoffee pie with my bandmates And this one is exactly how we used to like it. Spread the whipped cream all over the top the bananas finish it off with a generous mound of chocolate honeycomb pieces check this out, a beautiful banoffee pie, all that's left to do is put this into the fridge let it set it's ready to rock as soon as you have people over and you want to serve it up if you want the recipe for this, check out the box below where you can also subscribe to the foodtube family and I want you to leave me a comment and tell me what you think of my banoffee pie.
