5 from 89 reviews

These Mini Banoffee Pies are delightful bite-sized desserts featuring a buttery biscuit crust, homemade toffee made from sweetened condensed milk, fresh banana slices, and fluffy whipped cream topped with optional chocolate shavings. Perfect for parties or a sweet treat, these pies are simple to assemble and require chilling time to set.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 cup digestive biscuits (or graham crackers, crushed)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)

For the Toffee Filling:

  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

For the Filling:

  • 2 ripe bananas (sliced)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Chocolate shavings (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Crush the digestive biscuits until fine crumbs and combine them with melted butter in a mixing bowl, mixing thoroughly until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press this mixture into the bottom and up the sides of mini tartlet pans or muffin tins to form firm crusts, using the back of a spoon or your fingers to pack it tightly. Place the crusts in the refrigerator to chill and set while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the Toffee Filling: Place the unopened can of sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan and cover it completely with water. Bring the water to a gentle boil, then simmer for 2 hours, ensuring the can remains fully submerged throughout the process. Remove the can and allow it to cool completely before opening to reveal the thick caramel toffee.
  3. Assemble the Mini Banoffee Pies: Spoon a layer of the cooled toffee filling evenly into each chilled crust. Arrange sliced bananas over the toffee layer. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Spoon or pipe the whipped cream over the banana layer on each mini pie.
  4. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled mini banoffee pies for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set properly. Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy the rich, creamy, and fruity flavors of these miniature desserts.

Notes

  • Ensure the can of sweetened condensed milk is always fully submerged during boiling to prevent it from bursting.
  • For easier crust packing, chill the crumb mixture slightly before pressing into the tins if needed.
  • Use ripe but firm bananas to avoid browning and sogginess.
  • The pies can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated, making them ideal for entertaining.
  • Chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder add a decorative touch and complementary flavor.
