Banana and toffee is a wonderful combination and the banoffee dessert is one we served for a long, long time already. Many recipes will give you the Banoffee as a kind of cake, but we prefer to make them in a glass or little bowl.
BANOFFEE RECIPE
Prep time: 5-10 minutes Cook time: 10 minutes Total time: 15-20 minutes Serves: 8 portions
INGREDIENTS
2 big, ripe bananas, in slices
10 teaspoons of crushed unsalted peanuts
16 tablespoons of cookie crumbs (make your own, the vegan pie crust makes excellent crumbs.
1 cup condensed milk (we use our home made vegan condensed soy mil)
EQUIPMENT
8 glasses or small bowls
Mortar and pestle - Micro wave or pan for the toffee
Spoon
PREPARATION
Sterilize your jars
Cut the bananas in thin slices
Crush the peanuts, using the mortar and pestle
Crush you cookies
Scoop a spoonful of cookie crumbs on the bottom of the jars.
Pound them a bit to make a nice firm layer.
Add a teaspoon of crunched peanuts
Add a thick layer of sliced bananas (almost to ¾ of the glass)
Add another spoonful of cookie crumbs on top.
Spoon the condensed milk toffee mass over the cookies (see method)
Wait until the toffee cools down a bit and add some more toffee
Sprinkle some peanuts on top
METHOD TO MAKE THE CONDENSED MILK TOFFEE SAUCE IN THE MICROWAVE:
Pour the milk into a microwave suitable bowl
Heat for 2 minutes on highest level
Take out and stir
Place back and heat for 1 minute more
NOTE: check this process, to make sure the milk does not cook over your bowl.
METHOD TO MAKE THE CONDENSED MILK TOFFEE SAUCE IN A PAN ON YOUR STOVE:
Pour the milk into pan
Put on a medium low heat
Stir, stir, stir and keep stirring for approx. 15-20 minutes (If you do not stir the milk will burn and your sauce will be ruined)
The sauce will thicken and discolor to a beige color when done
