Original Banoffibanoffee Pie Recipes

ORIGINAL BANOFFI/BANOFFEE PIE

Steps:

• Make toffee: (Note that these are my directions for making toffee; Mr. Dowding presents an oven method.) Remove labels from two cans of sweetened condensed milk. (Note that it MUST be sweetened condensed milk, NOT evaporated milk!).
• Fill a large stockpot with water and bring to a boil. (You want the water to be a good 4-6 inches over the tops of the cans.) Drop the cans into the boiling water and boil for 2-1/2 hours.
• Note that it is EXTREMELY important to keep track of the water, and to make certain that the cans stay covered. If the water boils below the tops of the cans, the cans may overheat and eventually explode. If you keep the cans covered with water and pay attention, this is not a dangerous thing to do -- just don't take a nap, go outside, or get involved in a long phone conversation. Stay in the kitchen and you'll be fine!
• When you're done boiling the cans, turn the heat off and let the water cool a bit. I place the stockpot in the sink and start running cool, then cold, water into the stockpot, so the transition from boiling water to cool water is slow and steady. When the cans are completely cool to the touch, it's safe to open them. Do NOT open the cans when they're hot, to avoid being splattered by hot caramel.
• Make pastry: Place flour and sugar in a bowl. Cut the butter into cubes and cut into the flour mixture until it appears like fine bread crumbs.
• Work in the egg and egg yolk to form a paste.
• Chill dough for half an hour. Roll out pastry and line a 1" deep springform pan.
• Prick the pie crust, then line with parchment paper and weigh down with pie weights or dried legumes.
• Cook at 350 for fifteen minutes, then remove from oven and remove the parchment paper and pie weights.
• Return the pie crust to the oven and cook until it is evenly golden. (Mr. Dowding does not give a time estimate.) Remove from oven and cool.
• Assemble pie:.
• Spread caramel/toffee over cooled pie crust.
• Peel and split the bananas lengthwise. Arrange them on top of the coffee so that the curve of the banana fits the curve of the pie crust.
• Whip the cream, instant coffee, and caster sugar until it holds its shape (soft whip).
• Spread the cream over the bananas, up to the edge of the pie crust. Sprinkle very lightly with ground coffee.

BANOFFEE PIE

Steps:

• Pour the can of condensed milk in a medium saucepan and cook over low heat for about 45 minutes stirring frequently. Be careful not to burn as it sticks to the bottom of the pan.
• Add the crushed crackers to a food processor. Pour in the melted butter and pulse until it sticks together and the graham crackers get pulverized. Pour the graham cracker mixture into a 9-inch spring form pan and press with your hands or a 1 cup measurer to evenly distribute on the bottom of the pan. Chill to set for about 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
• Pour the dulce de leche over the graham cracker base. Spread evenly. Slice the peeled bananas and arrange over the top covering the entire surface. Whip the cream until firm and spread over the top. Sprinkle top with cinnamon and grated chocolate. Serve.

BANOFFEE PIE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and set in a larger baking dish. Fill the larger dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the smaller dish.
• Place in the oven and cook for 90 minutes. Check the water level occasionally, making sure that it reaches halfway and refilling as necessary.
• Carefully remove the baking dish from the hot water bath and let cool to room temperature. Whisk the mixture (now it's dulce de leche!) until smooth.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 350˚F (180˚C).
• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the graham crackers and melted butter. Pulse until crackers are finely ground and the mixture resembles wet sand.
• Grease a 9-inch (22 cm) tart pan with nonstick spray. Add the graham cracker mixture to the tin and press evenly to cover pan completely.
• Bake crust for 5 minutes, until golden and fragrant. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature.
• Spread the dulce de leche in the cooled tart crust, using a flexible spatula to smooth it into an even layer. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight, until set.
• In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks are just beginning to form. Add the sugar and beat until soft peaks form.
• Remove the pie from the refrigerator. Scatter the banana slices over the dulce de leche. Top with the whipped cream, spreading evenly to cover bananas, and garnish with chocolate shavings.
• Enjoy!

EASY BANOFFEE PIE

Steps:

• Crush the digestive biscuits, either by hand using a wooden spoon, or in a food processor, until you get fine crumbs, tip into a bowl. Mix the crushed biscuits with the melted butter until fully combined. Tip the mixture into a 23cm loose bottomed fluted tart tin and cover the tin, including the sides, with the biscuit in an even layer. Push down with the back of a spoon to smooth the surface and chill for 1 hr, or overnight.
• Beat the caramel to loosen and spoon it over the bottom of the biscuit base. Spread it out evenly using the back of a spoon or palette knife. Gently push the chopped banana into the top of the caramel until the base is covered. Put in the fridge.
• Whip the cream with the icing sugar until billowy and thick. Take the pie out of the fridge and spoon the whipped cream on top of the bananas. Grate the dark chocolate over the cream, if you like, and serve.

BANOFFEE PIE

Steps:

• Place a whisk and mixing bowl in the freezer to cool, 10 to 20 minutes.
• Place bananas in the bottom of the pie crust and drizzle 5 ounces caramel syrup over top. Reserve remaining caramel syrup for garnish.
• Remove whisk and mixing bowl from the freezer. Place whipping cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla in the chilled bowl. Mix rapidly with the whisk until peaks form leaving a stiff whipped cream; do not overmix.
• Spread whipped topping over the bananas and pie crust. Drizzle remaining caramel over top in a circular or zigzag motion for effect. Place in the refrigerator or freezer until whipped topping has firmed up, 15 to 30 minutes before serving.

BANOFFEE PIE

Steps:

• For crust:
• Combine flour, butter, sugar and salt in processor. Blend until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add nuts; process using on/off turns until nuts are finely chopped. Add yolk and vanilla; process until moist clumps form. Press dough onto bottom and up sides of 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Freeze 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake crust until golden and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Cool on rack.
• For filling:
• Simmer sweetened condensed milk in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until very thick and color of peanut butter, stirring frequently, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in whipping cream, dark rum and vanilla extract (mixture will be sticky and candy-like). Transfer warm filling to crust, spreading evenly. Cool completely. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover loosely and refrigerate.) Top pie with sliced bananas, covering filling completely. for topping: Stir instant coffee and 1 tablespoon water in small bowl until coffee dissolves. Combine coffee mixture, cream and sugar in large bowl; beat until peaks form. Spoon coffee whipped cream into pastry bag fitted with large star tip. Pipe whipped cream rosettes decoratively atop pie, covering completely. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Chill.) Cut pie into wedges and serve.

BANOFFEE PIE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Make the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar and salt. Stir until fully incorporated and sandy. (When you pinch a bit of it between your fingers, it should hold together.) Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Using your fingers or a flat-bottomed cup, press the mixture into the pie plate and up the sides. Make sure it is well packed. Bake until set, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 2 days.
• Spoon the dulce de leche into the pie crust and spread into an even layer. Pile in banana slices into a relatively even layer (they should overlap). Transfer the pie to the refrigerator while you make the whipped cream.
• Make the whipped cream: Using a handheld mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract and instant coffee, if using, on medium-high speed until firm peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Spread the whipped cream on top of the bananas, making sure to spread the whipped cream to the edge, totally covering the bananas (this will help prevent them from browning). Chill the pie, uncovered, for 2 hours and up to overnight.
• To serve, sprinkle the pie with chocolate shavings or fresh coffee grounds, if desired. Store leftover pie in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 5 days. The whipped cream may lose some height, but the pie will be no less delicious.
