Banoffee Pie



           

A famous, classy British dessert which can be made with 3 basic ingredients.

Ingredients
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 10 to 12 digestive biscuits
  • 2 medium ripe bananas
  • 100gm butter
  • 200 ml whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • Cocoa powder or chocolate curls for garnish
This dessert starts with a good quality dulce de leche or toffee. For making that either a pressure cooker or a pot can be used. For the pressure cooker method,fill 3/4th of the cooker with water. Immerse the condensed milk can completely in that. Cook this in low flame for about 35 minutes under pressure. Be careful while doing this and please note the water level and low  flame. Don't open the lid until the pressure subsides. Let this sit for 1 hr or until it becomes room temperature. If you are using a pot just boil the condensed milk can in an open pot for 2hrs. After that take the can from water and open it. A rich dulce de leche will be ready.
                  Crush the digestive biscuits coarsely and add softened butter to this. Mix well. Take a pie dish and layer this mixture tightly and refrigerate this for 15minutes. Spread the dulce de leche smoothly on top of this. Peel and slice banana. Add lime juice to this to prevent it from discoloration. Arrange the banana slices on top of the biscuit layer. 3rd and the final layer is whipped cream, which you can either pipe or just spread with a spatula. Serve chilled with cocoa powder or chocolate curls.
