As there are about 10 puddings still left to make, I asked the kids which they would like for a weekend treat - another one! It was unanimous - they all wanted banoffee pie.
As you can see from the picture, this is not your average banoffee pie. Usually the banana is under the cream, but not in this recipe.
I have to say that this was rather disappointing as it was incredibly sickly sweet.
The base was good - ginger biscuits and butter, but the toffee filling was made up of two cans of condensed milk, which was far too much. One can would have been fine. Mary says to use one large banana. I used two average size ones,and even then we ended up adding more because it was so rich that it needed the banana to help it go down!
If I made it again, I would use the same base, one can of condensed milk. I would then slice enough banana to cover the toffee, and then cover with cream. As it was, it only scored 7.0, but it had the potential to get an 8.5 with a few tweaks!
