Mary Berry’s Banoffee Pie is a classic British dessert made with a crunchy biscuit base topped with a layer of caramel (dulce de leche), fresh bananas, and lightly sweetened whipped cream. It’s called banoffee because it blends banana + toffee, creating a comforting and indulgent treat that’s ready in no time.

Ingredients

Scale

For the base:

  • 300g digestive biscuits, crushed

  • 120g unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

  • 1 can (397g) dulce de leche or ready-made caramel

  • 3–4 ripe bananas, sliced

  • 1 tsp lemon juice (prevents browning)

For the topping:

  • 300ml double cream

  • 2 tbsp icing sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • Grated chocolate or cocoa powder (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Base

Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin. Mix with melted butter until fully combined.

Step 2: Press Into the Tin

Press the biscuit mixture firmly into the tin to form an even base and slightly up the sides. Chill for 15–20 minutes to firm up.

Step 3: Spread the Caramel Layer

Spoon the caramel over the chilled base and spread evenly. For a thicker texture, whisk the caramel briefly before spreading.

Step 4: Add the Bananas

Toss banana slices lightly in lemon juice, then arrange them evenly over the caramel layer.

Step 5: Whip the Cream

Whip double cream with icing sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Spread the cream smoothly over the bananas.

Step 6: Add Toppings and Chill

Sprinkle grated chocolate, cocoa powder, or chocolate curls over the top. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Loosen the tin and lift out the pie carefully. Slice with a warm knife and serve immediately.
