Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375ºF.

Decoration Ideas

• Sprinkle with shaved chocolate and serve!
• If you are looking for more garnish ideas, sprinkle over some nuts such as peanuts, hazelnuts, slices of banana, or more toffee bits.

Some Useful Tips

• When you bake the crust, it will become puffy. If you like a firmer graham crust, press it down with the help of the bottom of a glass.

• Let the crust cool completely before filling.

• Place the Banoffee pie in the fridge to set or until ready to serve for at least 1 hour.

• I always recommend a sharp knife that is run under hot water to achieve nice clean slices.

• Never use ripe bananas because they will brown within 24 hours. Only use those bananas that are ‘just’ ripe.

• You can also use sweetened condensed milk to make your pie more delicious but remember, boil that condensed milk over low heat until it becomes thick and caramel-colored. You can buy any type of coconut condensed milk too.

FAQ

Can I make Vegan Banoffee ahead?

It is better to make the crust the day before preparing the dessert itself; then, it will be infused and will have a richer taste. If you have premade crust, the preparation process will take no more than 15 minutes, excluding the time for cooling the dessert itself.

You can also store the whipped coconut cream in a container. Slice the bananas and assemble the whole pie just before serving!

It will be very difficult to hold on, but if the finished Banoffee is chilled in the refrigerator for about 4-5 hours, it will hold its shape better when cut.

How do you keep bananas safe from darkening?

Make sure that your whipped cream covers every inch of the banana. But if you can also slice the bananas and sprinkle lemon juice on top of them to help prevent browning.

Can I use biscuits to make a crust?

There are so many recipes for Banoffee pie in which digestive biscuits are used. If you want to add biscuits to your Banoffee pie base, you must ensure they are crushed to a fine crumb. Remember, anything you use for your base, make sure they are all well-combined, stick, and vegan friendly.
