Banoffee Pie Recipe
Banoffee pie is a famous English dessert made from bananas, cream and toffee (made from boiled condensed milk, or dulce de leche), combined either on a buttery biscuit base or one made from crumbled biscuits and butter.
Some versions of the recipe also include chocolate, coffee or both. Its name, sometimes spelled ‘banoffi’, is a portmanteau combining the words ‘banana’ and ‘toffee’.
This fantastic banoffee pie recipe was shared with us by Iman Osman, a super talented Egyptian chef, who has recently published her first cookbook, titled Sweet Love.
Sweet Love is a compilation of classic desserts and bakes handed down from one generation to the next. Stunning photography and step-by-step recipes bring together this collection of both classic and Middle Eastern sweet recipes.
