Tips
When boiling the tin do not pierce it and don't panic it won't explode). Also don't let the pan boil dry either. When I open the tin after boiling I cover the tin and opener with a tea towel otherwise you may have caramel over your kitchen (it's only happened to me once).
Ingredients
- FOR THE BASE:
- 3½oz butter, melted
- 9oz digestive biscuits
- FOR THE CARAMEL:
- 397g can Carnation Condensed Milk
- TOPPING:
- 4 Bananas
- 284ml carton double cream lightly whipped
- to taste cocoa powder or shavings for decoration
Method
- TO MAKE THE BASE
- You will also need a 20cm (8inch)loose-bottomed cake tin greased and based lined.
- Crush the biscuits until like fine crumbs then tip into a bowl.
- Stir in the melted butter.
- Press the mixture into the base and 4cm (1½in) up the sides of the tin.
- Chill the base while you make the filling.
- TO MAKE THE FILLING
- Put the tin in a pan of boiling water and boil for 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
- The carefully remove the tin from the water and allow to cool slightly, not too much and open carefully with a tin opener.
- Spread the filling over the biscuit base, and then leave to chill for about 1 hour, until firm.
- ASSEMBLING THE PIE
- Remove the pie from the tin and place on a serving plate.
- Slice the bananas and 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 or grated chocolate shavings.
- Serve.

Carnation now sell the condensed milk made into caramel for you. I got mine in Tesco - takes some of the hard work out of it for you. Also does for Millionaires Shortbread as well.

Oh my goodness! I finally made this - and it was delicious!! The toffee sauce was perfect, I told everyone the trick of boiling it in the can. Thanks for sharing this one. I had lots of lovely comments about the pie. :)

Aaaah - that is what I've done. I emptied it out of the can and heated it up which resulted in very tasty, but impossible to eat toffee. I'll make sure I keep it in the can and follow your recipe.
Thanks Peter - I'll let you know how it turns out :)

I just boil the tin in a pan for about an hour & half, i find it just right. give it a go, i boiled too many cans one time and kept the extra can in the fridge for a week, opened it and microwaved it to get it a little more runny, worked fine...
if you follow the recipe on the can it suggests empting the milk into a pan and adding sugar, i find this way it burns very easily.
Peter :o)

This looks delicious.I've tried to make banoffee pie before and it had a very hard caramel sauce, do you have any tips to stop it turning in to toffee?
