1Set out a scale and the equipment for Banoffee pie. Heat to the refrigerator at 40°F / 4°C and give it 5 minutes so the surface is actually hot. Weigh all-purpose flour, unsalted butter, sweetened condensed milk, banana, heavy cream, brown sugar, vanilla extract, dark chocolate, 70%, kosher salt. Banoffee pie is cooked in England as its own plate, not as a copy of a restaurant menu. Press a butter crust, spread the cooked condensed-milk toffee, and cover it with banana and cream. A tin of dulce de leche is the shortcut. This toffee is condensed milk cooked until it darkens. Amounts are for 4 from foods this library can count.

How you know it is done
Banoffee pie is done when it tastes seasoned after the chill, and the dressing or brine coats every piece.
If it goes wrong
- Banoffee pie looks done at the edge and is still raw in the center. Trust the cue, not the color. Check the thickest piece and give it a few more minutes.
- Banoffee pie turned out salty, dry, or watery. Weigh the salt and the liquid next time. Keep the heat at the temperature in the method, and stop when the doneness cue appears.
Storage
Cover Banoffee pie and refrigerate it the same day. Eat it within 2 days. Do not leave a dressed or creamy cold plate at room temperature.
How this dish helps your daily life
- Banoffee pie is one of the plates people ask for by name from England.
- Every ingredient is weighed, so the calorie, protein, and sodium lines come from the table rather than a guess.
