Ingredients
Scale
Biscuit Base
- 300 g digestives
- 150 g unsalted butter or baking spread (melted)
Filling
- 375 g caramel sauce (see notes)
- 2-3 large bananas, sliced 1 cm thick
Topping
- 450 ml double cream
- 50 g icing sugar
- 25 g chocolate curls
Instructions
- Prepare the biscuit base: Crush the digestives into fine crumbs using a food processor or by hand in a sealed bag with a rolling pin. Mix the crumbs thoroughly with the melted unsalted butter until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into the base and up the sides of a 23 cm (9 inch) loose-bottomed tart tin to form a compact crust.
- Chill the base: Place the biscuit base into the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes to set firmly before adding the filling.
- Add the caramel layer: Once set, spread the caramel sauce evenly over the chilled biscuit base, making sure it covers the entire surface.
- Layer the bananas: Arrange the sliced bananas over the caramel layer in a single, even layer to ensure every bite has sweetness and fruitiness.
- Whip the cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip the double cream with the icing sugar until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to overwhip.
- Top the pie: Spread the whipped cream gently over the banana layer, creating a smooth, thick topping.
- Decorate: Sprinkle the chocolate curls over the top of the whipped cream for a delightful finishing touch.
- Chill before serving: Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 3 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and the cream to set properly.
- Serve: Remove the pie from the tin carefully before slicing into 12 generous portions. Serve chilled and enjoy!
