Banoffee Pie
This past Easter, I decided to make a non-Polish dessert and this English-inspired pie recipe jumped out at me. I found it in the New York Times recipe section and revised it to suit my taste. The Banoffee Pie has layers of dulce de leche, bananas, coffee-flavored whipped cream topped with mini chocolate chips in a graham-cracker crust. What I didn’t know was that dulce de leche (sweetened carmelized canned milk) is common in Poland and is often
used for a Mazurek pastry made for Easter and has been a Polish Easter tradition since the 17th century. Banoffee Pie, itself, is now commonly served in Poland.

- 3
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar and salt. Stir until fully incorporated and sandy. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Using your fingers or a flatbottomed cup, press the mixture into the pie plate and up the sides. Make sure it is well packed. (Note: You may not need to use all of the crumbs). Bake until set, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.

Spoon the dulce de leche into the pie crust and
spread into an even layer. Place banana slices into a relatively even layer (they should overlap) on top of the dulce de leche. Transfer the pie to the refrigerator while you make the whipped cream. - 5
Make the whipped cream: Using a handheld mixer
or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract and instant coffee on medium-high speed until firm peaks form, 3-4 minutes. Spread the whipped cream on top of the bananas, makingsure to spread the whipped cream to the edge, totally covering the bananas (this will help prevent them from browning). Chill the pie, uncovered, for 2 hours and up to overnight. - 6
To serve, sprinkle the pie with chocolate shavings or
mini chocolate chips.

Bangin' Banoffee Pie Bangin' Banoffee Pie
This desert is so simple to make yet tastes like it has taken a decade to master! Made in about five easy steps, it can be dressed up for a formal dinner or for dinner with friends, great as a party dish or just something to keep the kids happy! With bananas in you have one of your five a day, low on chocolate and minimal butter so although it tastes 'so good its bad for you', it isn't! Although one too many pieces can get a tad sickly....but overall this is a great wee desert! Enjoy!
