Banoffee Splits Recipes

BANOFFEE

Steps:

• Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter or margarine, and ginger until well blended . Press mixture into a 9 inch pie plate. Cool in refrigerator.
• In a sauce pan, boil an unopened can of sweetened condensed milk for 3 hours. Monitor the water closely, to make sure there is always water in the pan. Remove can from heat and let cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Open can and pour toffee into pie crust. Allow to cool.
• Slice bananas over toffee.
• Whip 2 cups of cream and spoon it on top of bananas. Refrigerate before serving.

BANOFFEE (BANANA TOFFEE) PIE

Steps:

• Place unopened can of condensed milk in a large pot; cover with water. Bring to boil; reduce to a simmer. Cover pot with lid and simmer for 3 hours to make the toffee, checking periodically to ensure the can is still immersed and adding more water as needed.
• Remove can from the pot and allow to cool until safe to handle. Rinse with cold running water for 10 minutes to speed up cooling.
• Open carefully and stir toffee until smooth. Spread toffee over the bottom of the prepared graham pie crust. Chill for at least 1 hour.
• Layer sliced bananas on top of the toffee. Beat cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Add sugar and continue to beat until fluffy. Spread whipped cream over bananas.

BANOFFEE PIE

Steps:

• Place a whisk and mixing bowl in the freezer to cool, 10 to 20 minutes.
• Place bananas in the bottom of the pie crust and drizzle 5 ounces caramel syrup over top. Reserve remaining caramel syrup for garnish.
• Remove whisk and mixing bowl from the freezer. Place whipping cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla in the chilled bowl. Mix rapidly with the whisk until peaks form leaving a stiff whipped cream; do not overmix.
• Spread whipped topping over the bananas and pie crust. Drizzle remaining caramel over top in a circular or zigzag motion for effect. Place in the refrigerator or freezer until whipped topping has firmed up, 15 to 30 minutes before serving.

BARBECUED BANOFFEE SPLITS

Steps:

• Combine the butter, sugar and vanilla extract. Split the inside curve of each banana with a knife, being careful not to cut all the way through. Spread a spoonful of the butter mixture into each split, then put the bananas, split-side up, onto individual sheets of foil - they should be large enough to encase the bananas completely. Crimp the edges of the foil to seal the parcels. These can be prepared the day before - just chill until you're ready to cook.
• Heat a barbecue to low or until a thin layer of coals has turned grey. Cook the parcels for 15 mins, turning once.
• Carefully unwrap the parcels, reserving any sauce that's inside. Transfer to plates, then scatter over the pecans and drizzle over any sauce reserved from the base of the parcels. Serve with a scoop of ice cream, whipped cream or yogurt.

BANOFFEE SPLITS

Steps:

• Tip all the sauce ingredients into a small saucepan and heat gently, stirring until you have a smooth sauce. Peel and split the bananas. Put 2 halves on each of 2 serving plates, add 2 scoops of ice cream to each plate, drizzle over the warm sauce and serve straight away.

EASY BANOFFEE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Pour condensed milk into a pie pan and cover tightly with foil for the caramel. Place in a larger pan. Add hot water to the pan but keep it below the top of the pie pan; you don't want to get any water into the milk.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the caramel is thick and brown, about 1 hour.
• Remove from the oven and transfer caramel to a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Pour into the graham cracker crust, cover, and cool in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
• Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until frothy. Add sugar gradually, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Mix in vanilla.
• Remove pie crust and caramel from the refrigerator. Cover caramel completely with banana slices. Spread whipped cream over top and sprinkle lightly with cocoa powder. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
