This no-bake Banoffee Pie delivers the classic British dessert experience using simple steps. You get layers of buttery biscuit crust, rich homemade toffee (dulce de leche), fresh bananas, and fluffy whipped cream. It is an impressive but simple dessert that works for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (for toffee/dulce de leche)
  • 3 large ripe bananas, sliced
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Chocolate shavings, for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the toffee (dulce de leche): Place the sealed can of sweetened condensed milk in a large saucepan and cover it completely with water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to maintain a steady simmer. Boil the can for 3 to 3.5 hours, checking occasionally to ensure the can remains submerged. Carefully remove the can from the water and let it cool completely before opening. Alternatively, use store-bought dulce de leche.
  3. Assemble the pie: Once the toffee is cool, spread the entire contents evenly over the chilled crust. Arrange the sliced bananas over the toffee layer.
  4. Prepare the whipped cream: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Do not overbeat.
  5. Top the pie: Spoon or pipe the whipped cream over the banana layer, covering it completely.
  6. Chill and serve: Refrigerate the Banoffee Pie for at least 2 hours before serving. Before slicing, sprinkle the top generously with chocolate shavings.

Notes

  • For a quicker toffee, use store-bought dulce de leche. This saves significant cook time.
  • If you want an extra layer of flavor, use ginger biscuits instead of graham crackers for the crust.
  • To prevent bananas from browning, lightly brush the slices with lemon juice before layering them over the toffee.
