Ingredients
Scale
Biscuit Base
- 300 g digestives
- 150 g unsalted butter or baking spread (melted)
Filling
- 375 g caramel sauce
- 2-3 large bananas (sliced about 1cm thick)
Topping
- 450 ml double cream
- 50 g icing sugar
- 25 g chocolate curls
Instructions
- Prepare the base. Crush the digestives into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Mix the crumbs thoroughly with the melted unsalted butter until well combined.
- Form the biscuit base. Press the buttery biscuit mixture evenly into the base and slightly up the sides of a 23cm pie dish or loose-bottomed tin. Use the back of a spoon to compact and smooth it out evenly. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until firm to set the base.
- Add the caramel layer. Spread the caramel sauce evenly over the chilled biscuit base with the back of a spoon, ensuring a smooth, uniform layer.
- Layer the bananas. Arrange the banana slices evenly on top of the caramel layer, covering it completely. Make sure the slices are about 1cm thick for the best texture balance.
- Whip the cream. In a chilled bowl, whisk the double cream with icing sugar until soft peaks form. This creates a light yet stable whipped cream topping.
- Top the pie. Spoon or pipe the whipped cream over the banana layer, spreading it evenly and creating a smooth and fluffy surface.
- Garnish and chill. Sprinkle the chocolate curls over the cream topping for a decorative finish. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow all layers to set and flavors to meld perfectly before serving.
