Easy Banoffee Pie Recipe
This easy banoffee pie recipe has the yummiest thick, creamy, toffee-style filling and texture that you just want to sink your teeth in but the filling isn't the only good thing because the pie crust could be a dessert on it's own.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1 cup butter
- 1/4 cup caster sugar
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2/3 cups light brown sugar
- 2 tbsp golden syrup
- 2 bananas optional
- grated chocolate of any kind optional
- whipped cream optional
Instructions
Pie crust
-
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees
-
Mix together 1 1/4 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of room temperature butter and 1/4 cup of regular or caster sugar. Squeeze the mixture together with your hands until it forms a ball of dough
-
Press the dough firmly into the base of an 8 inch pie pan
-
Bake just the crust in the oven for 25-30 minutes until it starts to turn light brown.
Pie Filling
-
While the dough is in the oven, mix the sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 cup butter, brown sugar, and syrup over medium heat and stir continuously.
-
Bring it to a gentle boil which takes upwards of 10 minutes to get it to a gentle boil and cook at a gentle boil for approximately 7 minutes, stirring continuously. If you don’t stir continuously with heat resistant rubber cooking spatula, it will burn on the bottom. It will turn a light caramel color and smell wonderful at this stage. After 7 minutes you can remove it from heat.
-
When the crust is done baking, you simply pour the ingredients which just finished boiling gently into the pie crust. Let the pie cool off in the refrigerator.
Recipe Notes
- The pie tastes so yummy on it's own but you can garnish it with the fresh banana slices, grated chocolate and whipped cream.
- It is best to let the pie cool off over night in the refrigerator but we have already eaten it warm because we couldn't wait.
