Ingredients

  • 100 g butter, melted
  • 250 g digestive biscuits
  • 100 g butter
  • 100 g dark brown sugar
  • 397 g carnation condensed milk
  • 4 small bananas
  • 284 ml double cream, lightly whipped
  • cocoa powder, for dusting

Method

  • To make the base, process the biscuits until like fine crumbs then tip into a bowl.
  • Stir in the melted butter.
  • Press the mixture into the base and 4cm (1 1/2in) up the sides of the tin.
  • Chill the base while you make the filling.
  • To make the filling: place the butter and sugar into a non-stick saucepan over a low heat, stirring until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves.
  • Add the condensed milk and bring gently to the boil, stirring continuously to make the caramel.
  • As soon as it thickens, remove from the heat.
  • Spread the filling over the biscuit base, cool, and then leave to chill for about 1 hour, until firm.
  • To serve, remove the pie from the tin and place on a serving plate.
  • Slice the bananas; fold half of them into the softly whipped cream and spoon over the toffee base.
  • Decorate with the remaining bananas and dust liberally with the cocoa.
  • 11/2 hours chilling time.
