Pecan banoffee pie
British 20 Mins Prep · 14 Mins Cook
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4.
- To make the pie, place the digestive biscuits and pecans in a food processor and blitz to form fine crumbs. Place in a medium bowl along with the sugar and salt.
- Melt 70g of butter and stir in to form a crust. Transfer to a 22cm pie dish and press the mixture down firmly. Place in the oven and bake for approx. 10-15 minutes or until golden. Leave to cool at room temperature.
- Spoon the dulce de leche (or tinned caramel) into the pie crust and spread into an even layer.
- To make the caramelised bananas, peel and halve the bananas and sprinkle the sugar over. Heat a medium non-stick pan over a high heat and add the remaining butter. Once melted, place the bananas sugar-side down and fry until golden.
- Layer the bananas over the dulce de leche layer and refrigerate.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the cream to soft peak stage. Dollop the whipped cream over the pie and serve.
