Brilliant Banoffee Pie | Donal Skehan

I food tubers if you are looking for
that ultimate showstopper dessert that
can be made ahead in advance all ready
to rock then this is the one for you
today I am going to make a beautiful
banoffee pie really really simple
luscious layers of cream sweet caramel
bananas and a beautiful buttery biscuit
face very simple to make so it starts
off by melting some butter so while the
butter is melting we need to talk about
biscuits I’ve got a pack of digestive
biscuits about half a pack of digestive
biscuits it’s in a little plastic bag
resealable and now all I’m going to do
is bash the crap out of them until we’ve
got nice fine crumbs now it is important
that you get nice fine crumbs because
when you push this biscuit face into the
tin you don’t want it to lift so by
having those nice fine crumbs you’ll get
a beautiful smooth and even result pour
the biscuit crumbs into a bowl add in
the melted butter and mix through tumble
the buttery biscuit crumbs into a pie
tin and press down now this is the bit
where you can get your hands a little
bit dirty get them in there and make
sure that you have a really nice and
compact base so that nothing lifts that
is pretty much perfect it’s exactly how
I want it so this goes into the fridge
gonna go in there for about an hour or
if you have less time that is okay too
but while it’s in the fridge I’m gonna
get on with the rest of the ingredients
I’ve got some bananas we’ve got some
crunchies we’ve got some cream and we’ve
got some caramel sweet beautiful
banoffee goodness pour some cream into a
bowl and whisk until you have soft peaks
and when I chose this bowl too it’s the
cream in I thought would work better but
in fact it is erupting with cream all
over the kitchen counter so I’ll be
cleaning that off later but we’ll keep
going it’s fine it’s fine
now although I have most of my cream on
the kitchen counter the one thing to
remember is not to over whip your cream
nobody likes that grainy cream you want
to make sure that it’s still light and
voluptuous so this is pretty much
perfect I’m gonna chop up the bananas
and my secret weapon of the nutty pie
mass destruction is a crunchy honeycomb
chocolate covered bar so delicious and
so tasty over this banoffee chop up some
crunchy chocolate-covered honeycomb bars
for sprinkling over the top as my
crunchy started and now we need to talk
about that caramel it starts off with
this beautiful condensed milk and then
you transform it which I’ve done over
here into a caramel you boil the bottle
or the tin of condensed milk for two
hours make sure it’s continuously
covered in water otherwise it can
explode and when it comes out what I’m
looking for now is a tin-opener
when it comes out what you get left with
is the most beautiful smooth and quite
take caramel that works perfectly for
been occupied
and now check they say this is what the
nothing pipe is all about beautiful
caramel and now I have all my
ingredients ready spread the caramel
over the biscuit base now you don’t have
to be too particular about how you get
your bananas in there but just get them
in Nice little kind of circular motion
you’ll do it quite nicely now you may
not know this but I used to be in a band
and when we would do late-night
recording sessions our midnight snack
was always been up you pie so I have fun
memories of eating banoffee pies with my
bandmates and this one is exactly how we
used to like it spread the whipped cream
all over the top of the bananas finish
it off with a generous mound of
shattered honeycomb pieces check this
out a beautiful banoffee pie all that’s
left to do is put this into the fridge
let it set it’s ready to rock as soon as
you have people over and you want to
