For the Filling:

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

Timing

Making Mini Banoffee Pies takes about 15 minutes for preparation and 2 hours for chilling.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

1. Crush Biscuits: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed digestive biscuits and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
2. Form Crusts: Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of mini tartlet pans or muffin tins to form the crusts. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to pack it tightly.
3. Chill Crusts: Place the crusts in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.

Step 2: Make the Toffee Filling

1. Cook Condensed Milk: To make the toffee filling, place the can of sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan. Cover it with water and bring to a gentle boil. Simmer for 2 hours, ensuring the can is always submerged in water. Allow it to cool completely before opening.

Step 3: Assemble the Mini Banoffee Pies

1. Fill Crusts: Once the toffee is cooled, spoon a layer of toffee into each crust, spreading it evenly.
2. Add Bananas: Top the toffee layer with sliced bananas.
3. Whip Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
4. Top with Cream: Spoon or pipe the whipped cream over the bananas in each mini pie.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

1. Chill: Refrigerate the mini banoffee pies for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set.
2. Garnish: Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings if desired.
3. Enjoy: Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious Mini Banoffee Pies!
