Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To make the base, blitz the biscuits, nuts and melted butter in a food processor until the
  2. mixture clumps together. Press it evenly over the base and sides of a medium pie dish or
  3. divide it among individual jars (only on their bases). Place in the fridge for an hour or longer or in the freezer while you prepare the rest of the dessert.
  4. Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  5. To prepare the topping, toss the nuts in the icing sugar, then scatter them over the
  6. prepared baking tray and bake for 8 minutes until golden brown. Shake the tray a
  7. couple of times during baking to recoat the nuts. Remove, cool and give them a rough chop.
  8. For the filling, beat the 125 ml cream with the Caramel Treat, salt and miso if you are using and until smooth.
  9. Toss the sliced bananas lightly in the lemon juice to prevent them from going brown.
  10. Spread the caramel filling over the base of the pie dish. Arrange the banana slices in 1–2 even layers over the caramel.
  11. Mix the coffee granules or espresso powder, vanilla extract and icing sugar with the
  12. 350ml cream, then whip until it forms soft peaks.
  13. Dollop this on top of the bananas and decorate it with the sugared pecan nuts and grated chocolate. Scoop and enjoy!

Notes

  • This banoffee pie with pecans is best when freshly assembled, but you can easily make the base and caramel filling a day or two ahead. Just store them in the fridge, then add the bananas and whipped cream when you’re ready to serve.
