Banoffee Pie recipe – Glam Radar

I’m 16 years old and I don’t have many time for cooking lessons. I mean I cook all time, most sweets as you may have notice; but I don’t have time to capture every move I make as I do in these posts! So this is a “promise” I’ve made : I will cook every weekend a new desert/sweet so I will have the chance to post more and show you more! This is fun and interesting for me first and you second that will know how to make different deserts and sweets! This is called Banoffee Pie and it had a great taste!banoffee-pie I got to be honest : cooking it was a bit difficult for me because it was my first time and I had a bit difficulty with caramel layer while evenly on the base. You got to wet often the back of the spoon while evenly the layer. The rest is ok and I had no problem! Are you ready to be “Banoffed?” :banana-banoffee-pie

For a faster process put the pot with caramel in a larger pot filled with cold water. Stir time after time. When it will be difficult to stir, than you’ll know it’s perfect for the next stepbanoffee-pie-recipe-5

After 1 1/2 hour peel and cut the bananas in slices .

Remove the tin and place the sliced bananas in 1or2 layers on the caramel(I did it in only one layer because my slices were big in some kind of way). Return in the fridge for another 30 minutesbanoffee-pie-recipe-11banoffee-pie-recipe-12

After 3o minutes sprinkle the pie with cocoa powderbanoffee-pie-recipe-13

Pipe on the whipping cream in blobs (1 blob per banana slice) and sprinkle once more with cocoa powder. Since I didn’t had time to whip the cream by hand I left it liquid more than creamy and splash it over bananas. In your personal plate you can do some other decoration like different fruits or ice-cream!banoffee-pie-recipe-14banoffee-pie-recipe-15
