Hi there,

I, finally, have a new video for you guys, yay! This quick banoffee recipe is perfect for all you busy bees out there since you do not have to waste 4 hours boiling a can of condensed milk to make the delicious caramel; instead, we utilize one of man’s greatest invention-the microwave- to shorten the cooking time down to less than 15 minutes. I have to admit that I barely scaled when I made this dessert; banoffee pie is one of those recipes where you can adjust it to suit your taste and keep adding, adjusting, and perfecting along the way. But here’s a guideline for you anyways:

Ingredients

1 box of any cracker or cookies of choice (I used a 300 g box of cream crackers)

1/2 a stick of salted butter, melted (don’t add all at once, adjust according to your cookies)

3 bananas

1 can of sweetened condensed milk

1 cup of heavy whipping cream

Dark chocolate for decoration

Directions

1. Melt butter in a microwave
2. Place the cookies in a sturdy zip-lock bag and start crumbling them with a heavy object (a sauce bottle usually does the trick for me)
3. Mix the butter and the crumbs together until it resembles wet sand, pack the mixture into your bowl/dish/cup of choice, making sure that the crumbs spread out pretty evenly, place in the freezer
4. Empty a can of condensed milk into a large microwave-safe bowl, and put in a microwave on high heat for 15 minutes, stopping to stir every time the caramel bubbles up almost to the top, and repeat these steps until you get a bubbling brown caramel in the center of the bowl.
5. Stir the caramel vigorously until you achieve a smooth paste, add a dollop of salted butter to taste, and leave to cool down a little
6. Cut the bananas to 1 cm-thick slices
7. Whip the whipping cream until stiffed peak forms
8. Assemble the prepared ingredients into the crust, starting with the caramel, then bananas, and lastly whipped cream
9. Decorate with chocolate shavings and store in the fridge
10. Enjoy!
