For the topping:

- 300 ml whipping cream
- 2 tbsp icing sugar

Instructions
Crush the Digestive Biscuits
- Place the biscuits in a food processor. Blend until fine crumbs form. If you don’t have a processor, put them in a zip bag and crush with a rolling pin.
Make the Base
- Mix the crushed biscuits with melted butter in a bowl. Press evenly into the bottom of your pie tin. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes to set.
Prepare the Caramel
- In a saucepan, heat condensed milk, brown sugar and butter gently. Stir continuously until thick and golden. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
Spread the Caramel
- Pour the caramel over the chilled biscuit base. Smooth it out with a spatula. Chill for 15–20 minutes until firm.
Slice the Bananas
- Peel and slice the bananas evenly. Lay them over the set caramel layer to cover the pie completely.
Whip the Cream
- In a clean bowl, whip the cream with icing sugar until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip or it will turn grainy.
Top the Pie
- Spread the whipped cream over the bananas carefully. Use a spatula to create soft swirls.
Decorate
- Sprinkle dark chocolate shavings or a dust of cocoa powder on top. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for the sweetest flavor.
- For a quicker version, use ready-made caramel.
- Add a hint of coffee to the caramel for depth.
- Replace digestive biscuits with chocolate biscuits for a richer base.
- For a lighter option, use low-fat cream or yogurt topping.
