Banoffee Pie


Hello! New month and new recipe. This is a classic of the English desserts. I love this pie, specially in summer time, due this cake doesn't needs oven. You can get the toffee filling from a boiled condensed milk or using a jar of dulce de leche. But I will show you an other way which I rather than to cook the condensed milk. The process to to cook the can takes 2 hours, so there is an other way much faster and also delicious to make an smooth and tasty toffe. But if you can get a real dulce de leche jar just use it!


Banoffee Pie

base: 
250 g digestives cookies crunched
100 g melted unsalted butter

Crush the biscuits in a food processor or in a plastic bag, seal the bag and crush with a rolling pin. Add the melted butter and mix together. Place this mixture in a tin and press with the bag of a spoon all over the base and the sides. Place it in the fridge.

Add the condensed milk and and bring it to boild for about 2 minutes, stirring all the time to thikens and gets golden. Spread the caramel all over the cookie base, cool and then put it in the fridge for about 1 hour, until firm.
