Banoffee pie

Decorate with dark chocolate
This my favorite pie. Maybe the king of pies in my opinion J The pie is done in 4 different layers starting with the biscuits, toffee, bananas and then on the top the whipped cream

Base
125 g melted butter
225 g chocolate chip biscuits
75 g digestive biscuits

Toffee
175 g butter
1,5 dl sugar
400 g condensed milk (1 tin can)

Topping
2 bananas
3 dl cream
100 g dark chocolate

Crush the biscuits and mix together with melted butter. Spread over a pie form and cool it down.
Melt the butter and sugar so that you do not see the sugar crystals anymore. Add the condensed milk and let it come to a boil. After this cook for 30-40 minutes on a lower fire. Remember to mix the toffee once in a while.


Pour the toffee on top of the biscuit base and let it cool down. Slice the bananas and place them over the cooled toffee.


Whip the cream and add some sugar if needed. Spread the cream over the bananas. Decorate with crushed chocolate.
