What is Banoffee Pie?

A Banoffee pie is a combination of a banana and toffee pie or a banana toffee pie. It is believed to have been created by a British pub owner in the 1970s. The head chef put together a dessert with caramel, boiled sweetened condensed milk, and bananas, all in a flaky pie crust. Now, there are many variations to the popular dessert, including this recipe. I used a shortbread crust, a toffee filling, bananas, and whipped cream. It’s one of the easiest, yet most delightful desserts you can make!

Ingredients & Substitutions

Crust: When making the shortbread crust, be sure all of the crumbs are coated in butter. This is the ‘glue’ that holds the cookie crumbs together. Have a few extra crumbs on hand to sprinkle over the top, too! You could also make this pie with a graham cracker crust.

Toffee Sauce: The toffee filling is easy to mix together, made with a can of sweetened condensed milk, unsalted butter, and brown sugar. We also tested the recipe with a can of dulce de leche. It tasted okay, but it did not set up as well as we would have liked. However, the pie was still delicious!

Bananas: Slice three bananas into rounds for the pie.

Whipped Cream: I prefer homemade whipped cream for this recipe. However, you could certainly use store-bought like cool whip.

Can I Make Banoffee Pie Without a Springform Pan?

Yes! If you don’t have a springform pan, you could certainly use an 8 or 9-inch square baking dish. Or, for a fun presentation, set up the pie into small ramekins or dessert cups for individual banoffee pies. Any way you serve it, your guests will love it!

How to Store Banoffee Pie

Store Banoffee pie in the refrigerator, covered. It will last up to 3-4 days. I do not recommend freezing this pie.

Ingredients

• ▢ 3 medium bananas, sliced into rounds, divided

Shortbread Crust

• ▢ 2 cups shortbread crumbs
• ▢ 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted

Toffee Filling

• ▢ ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter
• ▢ ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
• ▢ 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

Whipped Cream

• ▢ 1 cup (238 g) heavy whipping cream
• ▢ 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Instructions

• Spray an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.

Shortbread Crust

• In a bowl, combine shortbread crumbs and melted butter with a fork. Press the crust into the bottom of and halfway up the sides of the prepared springform pan. Set aside as you make the filling.

Toffee Filling

• In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and brown sugar, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.

• Remove from heat and set aside as you make the whipped cream.

Whipped Cream

• In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip cream until stiff peaks are just about to form (about 1 ½ minutes). Beat in confectioners' sugar until stiff peaks form.

Assembly

• Layer half of the banana rounds over the crust.
• Pour the toffee sauce over the bananas. Add the remaining bananas.
• Top with whipped cream.
• Transfer the pie to the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour, up to overnight.
• Serve chilled, sprinkled with extra shortbread crumbs.

What the Test Kitchen had to say about this recipe:

Autumn

Testing this recipe was so fun because I love all of the flavor combinations. The final result was the perfect blend of bananas, sweet toffee, whipped topping, and a buttery shortbread crust. You really can't go wrong with this one!

Elizabeth

We finally nailed this recipe by making our own toffee filling to fill the crust. The flavor profiles of the bananas, shortbread crust, and toffee filling all stood out and held their own! And, of course, everything is better with whipped cream!

Bella

This has a wide range of flavors and textures, and I can taste them all in every bite. They all gave each other compliments. There are different elements including sweetness, creaminess, chewiness, crunchiness, softness, and lightness in just one recipe! It had such a great taste from everything coming together.

The first version was a little too chewy for me but still had great flavor. BUT, the second version was creamy, and all the flavors complemented each other! I loved this dessert!!

Selena

The balance of the bananas, whipped cream and toffee filling are just divine. Typically this has a graham cracker crust, but the shortbread crust instead just levels this up and makes it extra special!
