Banoffee Pie

8 servings

45 minutes

Banoffee pie is an iconic dessert of British origin, admired for its simplicity and rich flavors. The name comes from the combination of 'banana' and 'toffee', as its main ingredients are sweet caramel condensed milk and fresh bananas. The crunchy base made of biscuit soaked in butter creates a perfect contrast with the delicate whipped cream, complemented by subtle coffee notes. This cake, born in the 1970s in England, quickly gained popularity worldwide due to its rich texture and harmonious flavor balance. It is served chilled to keep the cream airy and the caramel pleasantly flowing. A wonderful choice for festive tea time or just sweet enjoyment.
