Hubby has been going on for ages about banoffee pie, so I thought I'd make him one.

Has anyone got a really nice recipe that they would like to share?
Here I go again on my own....

    I do one a bit like the nestle one, with the same (cheesecake style) base - (you could use chocolate digestives if you want it extra yummy), but with a complete disregard for H&S :eek: and boil the tin of condensed milk (for about 1.5-2hrs). Apparently the tin can explode, but I must've got the idea from somewhere, and I've never had a problem. :o

    On top of the whipped cream I grate dark chocolate.

    Yummy!

    Hi I went to see phill vickery ( ferns hubby from daytime show This morning!) Free tickets from this website !!!!, and in our goody bag we got wait for it ...........................a tin of nestle carnation caramel

    On the back of the tin is the recipe , and this caramel is all ready and you just splodge it in and top with your , cream and bananas, no more stirring condensed milk!!!. It comes in a 397gram tin , I know he said it is a brand new product from nestle, we all got to try his puds, I fell in love with him !!! that night , I was moaning with delight !!. I know fern has been eating wisely and lost weight , but how tough when married to a man that cooks angels food. He was very lovely and a real natura too. May be worth checking the supermarket shelf out, it suits me this caramel as it is foolproof and I have always made that bit too thick normally!:p

    ... as long as you keep the sealed tin in water it won't explode - but let it dry out for a few moments and .... BANG! :eek:
    We used to do several tins at a time - and then store them ready. But the idea of being able to buy it ready appeals.

    i have a recipe off the back of a carnation can, i will PM you as i dont know if I am allowed to post the recipe. It has the digestive base, but i suppose you could just change that for a pastry base ( i personally love the pastry base , and i side note don't get the tesco banoffe pie it is fowl, never again)

    You can cheat and not make the caramel at all, I buy a jar from tesco made by Merchant Goumet, i think its called dulce de leche and it a georgous thick caramel sauce perfect for bannoffee pies, its about £2-3 pound so not very moneysaving but it takes the hassle out of having to make caramel. I even heard Jamie Oliver recommending it a few years ago.

    Just make a shortcrust pastry base, boil 2 carnation cans of condensed sweetened milk for 5 hours, let them cool down, open them spoon it out, put it onyour base, put bananas sliced lengthways on top of the caramel, whip a pot of double cream with one tbsp of sugar and spread on top. Voila!
