banoffee pie recipe with step by step pictures - no bake christmas recipes
easy to make dessert recipes am posting and all are no bake ones and here comes the easy banoffee pie which is so easy to make and you can make it with the ingredients available in the pantry.banoffee pie is the no bake dessert originated from English cuisine in which is the combination of banana and toffee.So it is named as Banoffee= banana+toffee.The topping is the whipped cream along with chocolate syrup and grated chocolate along with some coffee powder.
the individual desserts are really easy to make and attractive too and here i made the toffee or dulce de leche from scratch as it is so easy to make and it does not take time as it is made from condensed milk using pressure cooker.I made it from whole milk and i posted the recipe for dulce de leche.Check that too,but was not able to post step pictures.It took just 50 to 60 minutes to make it and store it in airtight container.Refrigerate it and use.
banoffee pie contains three layers which is the fusion dessert so you can serve either in pie dish or in glass or in a bowl.Biscuit base,dulce de leche,sliced bananas are three layers for this dessert and it is finish off with whipped cream topping and some coffee powder or coco powder for more flavors.
I did not want to make a buttery crust again,so i just crushed the biscuits roughly and made the base for this dessert.You can make usual biscuit base with biscuit crumbs and melted butter.You did not want the dessert to sit in refrigerator for hours before serving.Keep everything ready and assemble it and serve.This is one of the easiest dessert for this Christmas to make and no need to refrigerate.
this is an updated post as i want to update my old post with new ones.here comes the pictorial of how to make the pie in simple easy steps.But you have to make the whipped cream and keep it ready before assembling.This will the job easier and you will relish the dessert in minutes.This dessert is now the favorite dessert for V and told me this tastes so yummy and loads of flavors there.And this is the second time making the dessert and this time it came out better than previous one.At that time am not able to make perfect whipped cream topping.This time i used whipped cream powder and made the cream earlier and refrigerated.lets move on step pictorial.,
- First made the biscuit base or crust with melted butter and biscuit crumbs or made the crust like me- just crush the biscuits roughly and make the base.
- Then add 1 tablespoon of dulce de leche over the biscuit base.(for each glass 1 to 1/2 tablespoon of dulce de leche is enough)
- Now peel and slice the banana into 1/4 inch thick slices and arrange it over the toffee or dulce de leche.
- Now fill the top with whipped cream and set in refrigerator.
- If you are serving as it is then dust it with coco powder or coffee powder,drizzle some chocolate syrup and grate some chocolate over it and serve.
If you are making dulce de leche or toffee using condensed milk,there are so many ways to make them.Make it either using pressure cooker method or using open pot method or using double boiler method or microwave method.I made the separate post on how to make dulce de leche there i mentioned about all these methods.Check that post for more information on making dulce de leche.
Make the whipped cream - use either whipped cream powder or fresh cream.whipped cream powder contains sugar content so no need to add sugar but if you are using fresh cream and add enough sugar to make the stiff peaks.Use icing sugar for better results or powder the sugar and then sieve it through the sieve which we using for flour.
