Take you packet(s) of chocolate hobnobs and hit hard on the worktop before opening. Tip the broken biscuits into a large mixing bowl and crush into fine crumbs using the end of a rolling pin.
Melt the butter in a mug in the microwave for 10-30 seconds (depending on whether it is chilled or at room temperature).
Pour the melted butter into the mixing bowl with the chocolate hobnob crumbs and mix well.
Line your springform tin with parchment, then pour the base mixture in.
With the back of a dessert spoon, smooth the mixture out so that it covers the base and is roughly 1 cm thick. Push the mixture up the sides slightly, so the base has a lip of approx 1cm.
Place in the fridge to chill during the next steps.
Caramel
Place the butter and sugar in a saucepan on a medium heat and continue stirring until the sugar starts to dissolve.
Slowly add the condensed milk and continue to stir. Do not leave the pan unattended. Stir gently and constantly until the caramel starts to thicken.
Take the caramel from the heat, do not be tempted to lick the spoon! The caramel mixture will be very hot.
Pour the caramel over the biscuit base and smooth out evenly. Then place back in the fridge during the next steps.
Topping
Pour the cream, vanilla essence and paste into a large mixing bowl and whisk with an electric whisk until stiff and fluffy.
Peel, and cut the bananas into slices (roughly 0.5-1cm thick).
Layer the slices of banana over the banoffee base, and then spread the whipped cream on top.
To finish grate dark chocolate over the banoffee pie.
Notes
I've also made this into individual banoffee tarts, using pre-made shortcrust tart cases. You can find these easily in most supermarkets and they also make a great contribution towards BBQs and parties over the summer.
Young Love
I first made this recipe for my now husband around 11 years ago when I'd just got into baking. I remember taking it to his house, with anticipation at how it would be received. But being thrilled that it didn't even last a day because not only him, but his whole family, and his friend who lived next door loved it!
Over the years it's developed into a recipe I don't even need to look up, with some tweaks from the original along the way.
No baking involved
I love this recipe because there's no baking involved. There's also the added bonus that much like the choux bun recipe I posted recently, it's perfect for summer BBQ's and parties.

Mmmmmmm, i haven't had a decent bannoffee for years! We used to (very dangerously) boil the unopened can of milk to make the caramel, but it was darn good fun!

Ok - confession time. I've never had a banoffee pie before. I'm from Canada and hadn't heard of it until I moved here a few years ago, but have still yet to try one! Seems easy enough to make though. I'll have to give yours a go!
