Have you tried a British Banoffee Pie before? A magical tri-layer confection with caramel sauce, bananas and cream that will make your taste buds sing!
What is Banoffee Pie?
Let’s start with the name itself. The word ‘Banoffee’ is a combination of two words actually. Banana and Toffee, which will reveal what is on the inside. A crushed cookie crust, then layers of toffee or caramel, sliced bananas, a cloud of whipped cream and chocolate curls make this stunning dessert.
Banoffee Pie was invented in East Sussex, England in the early 70s, and although this creation is 100% English, many Brits think it’s American because of the luxuriously indulgent nature of this dessert, which is not too English.
