Make this classic British dessert, the ultimate no-bake Banoffee Pie, featuring layers of buttery crust, rich toffee, fresh bananas, and fluffy whipped cream. It is simple to assemble and perfect for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (or dulce de leche)
  • 3 large ripe bananas, sliced
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Chocolate shavings, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until fully combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the toffee layer: If using sweetened condensed milk, you must cook it first to create toffee (dulce de leche). Place the sealed can in a large pot and cover completely with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3 to 3.5 hours, checking water levels frequently. Let the can cool completely before opening. Alternatively, use store-bought dulce de leche. Spread the cooled toffee evenly over the chilled crust.
  3. Arrange the bananas: Place the sliced bananas in a single layer over the toffee filling. Try to cover the entire surface.
  4. Prepare the whipped cream: In a separate large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. This creates your fluffy whipped cream topping.
  5. Assemble the pie: Spoon or pipe the whipped cream mixture over the bananas, spreading it to cover the entire pie surface.
  6. Chill and garnish: Refrigerate the Banoffee Pie for at least 2 hours to allow it to set. Before serving, sprinkle generously with chocolate shavings.

Notes

  • To prevent bananas from browning quickly, lightly brush the slices with lemon juice before layering them onto the toffee.
  • For an extra decadent base, substitute 1/4 cup of the graham cracker crumbs with finely crushed toffee bits.
  • If you are short on time, use store-bought dulce de leche instead of boiling the condensed milk.
  • This dessert is best made the day you plan to serve it for the freshest whipped cream and bananas.
