Equipment
- 1 Food Processor or Ziplock Bag and Rolling Pin
- 1 Pie Dish
- 1 Heavy-bottomed Saucepan For making the caramel
- 1 Whisk or Hand Mixer For whipping the cream
- 1 Spoon or spatula
- 1 Knife
Ingredients
For the base
- 2 cups biscoff biscuits 250g
- ½ cup unsalted vegan butter, melted 100g
For the caramel layer
- 14 oz oat condensed milk, I used Nature's Charm 400g
- ⅓ cup unsalted vegan butter, melted 75g
- ⅓ cup dark brown sugar 75g
For the topping:
- 3-4 rice bananas, halved
- 1 ¼ cups oat whipping cream, I used Nature's Charm 300 ml
- cocoa Powder or vegan chocolate shavings for decoration optional
Instructions
- Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and rolling with a pin. Mix the crumbs with melted vegan butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into a pie dish to form an even base. Place the dish in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the caramel.
- In a non-stick, heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the vegan butter over low heat. Add the dark brown sugar to the melted butter and stir until completely dissolved. Pour in the oat condensed milk. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a rapid boil, stirring continuously. Keep boiling for about a minute until it thickens into a golden caramel. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Pour the warm caramel over the chilled biscuit base. Spread it evenly with a spoon or spatula. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least one hour to set.
- Once the caramel has set, slice the bananas evenly. Arrange the banana slices over the caramel layer in the pie dish.
- Pour the oat whipping cream into a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer or whisk to whip the cream until it forms soft peaks. Spread the whipped cream over the layer of bananas.
- Dust the top with cocoa powder or sprinkle with vegan chocolate shavings. Your vegan banoffee pie is ready to serve. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Serving: Serve the vegan banoffee pie chilled for the best texture and flavor. Pair it with a hot drink like coffee or tea.
- Storage Tips: Store leftover banoffee pie in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container, for up to 3 days.
- Make-Ahead: You can prepare the biscuit base and caramel layer in advance and refrigerate. Add bananas and whipped cream just before serving.
- Customize: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the caramel for a warm, spiced flavor. For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts over the whipped cream layer.
- Extra Tip: Ensure the caramel is completely cooled before adding bananas to prevent them from becoming mushy.
