Make welcome Banoffee Pie!
I Chose to use a very fast and simple recipe as I've never tasted one of these babies before. I found the recipe at http://www.taste.com.au/. I usually go here for ideas and usually tweak the recipes to make it my own. However on this occasion I followed the recipe to the T.
Ingredients:
1 x 250g pkt granita biscuits (Arnott's brand)
125g butter, melted
2 bananas
1 x 300ml tub double cream
1 x 394g can sweetened condensed milk
70g (1/3 cup, firmly packed) brown sugar
50g butter
Method:
1. Place the biscuits in the bowl of a food processor and
process until finely crushed. Add the butter and process until well combined.
Divide the biscuit mixture among six round 8cm (base measurement) fluted tart
tins with removable bases. Use the back of a metal spoon to firmly press the
biscuit mixture over the base and side of each tin. Place in the fridge until
required.
2. To make caramel filling, place condensed milk, sugar and butter
in a medium saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden
spoon, for 10-12 minutes or until caramel thickens (do not boil).
3. Pour the hot caramel evenly among biscuit bases. Cover with glad wrap.
4. Peel and thinly slice bananas, and arrange over the caramel
filling. Top pies with a dollop of cream and serve immediately.
This is obviously a sometimes treat. It is much too rich to eat on a regular basis.
Hope you enjoyed reading this weeks recipe of the week!
Rich hugs!
