When a sweet caramel, butter biscuits and ripe bananas are joined, there is something that will catch you once and for all into its clutches. This British recipe was born in the second half of the 20th century, and since then Banoffe has rightly held among the stars of the domestic sweet repertoire.
The Banoffe base is a simple biscuit body. Just crush the butter biscuits, mix them with a little melted butter and tapped into a mold. There is no need to bake, just put the corpus in the fridge for a while, where the crispy is reinforced. It is this unpretentiousness that makes Banoffee a great choice for anyone who wants to conceal, but does not have time to spend hours at the oven.

The key is perfect caramel
The second irresistible layer is caramel. Traditionally, it is prepared from condensed milk, which is slowly boiled until it gets a soft, dark gold color and a thick, long consistency. Those who want to simplify the work will reach for the finished caramel – but the key always remains the key. Caramel should be sweet, but not too much, and smooth enough to merge nicely with other layers.
Caramel then comes the slices of bananas. The more mature, the better – the banana gives the dessert not only the taste but also the soft, supple structure.
A source of carbohydrates and fiber
“Bananas are a source of carbohydrates, both simple, which are sugars and folded, that is, starch. The more the banana is, the increased the amount of sugars and at the expense of starch.
At the end, just whisper the cream and lightly lay it on top. Some add mascarpone or sour cream that softens the taste and gives creamy softness. The whole dessert can still be decorated with shavings of chocolate or cocoa, but even without them the result is more than perfect.
Slanged and chilled is the best
Banoffee is best served well chilled, ideally after a few hours of resting. At that time, all tastes are connected – butter base, thick caramel, banana sweetness and light whipped cream creates harmony that is difficult to resist. And in this simplicity is the magic.
This English dessert fits every opportunity. Whether you offer it a visit, bring it to the celebration or prepare it for afternoon coffee, it will never disappoint. Banoffee is not just a sweetness – it is a little joy that will quickly rank among your stars.
