• 150g light brown sugar
• 2 tins condensed milk (full fat)
• Bananas
• 500g double cream
• 50g icing sugar
• Frozen grated chocolate

Method

• Find a large serving dish for this recipe. Spread two sheets of cling film on top of each other on your work bench and wipe them smooth together. (TOP TIP: add a little bit of water into your mould and spin it around and remove the liquid, do not dry it). Add the cling film into the mould nice and tightly into the corners. Then add a square of baking paper into the bottom (just to prevent any cling film ripping into the pie).
• To make the base, add the biscuits into a bag and smash with a rolling pin to get a fine crush. Melt 150g butter over a low heat and add in the biscuits, stir well and then transfer into the mould and push down hard into all the corners (get this as flat and even as you can). Place in the fridge for at least 1.5 hours.
• To make the filling, heat 150g butter and sugar together over a low heat, then add in the condensed milk and bring to boil. Keep stirring until it gets to a darkish brown, don’t take it too far!
• When ready transfer this on top of the biscuit base in the fridge, then carefully place back in the fridge and leave for another 1.5 hours.
• To make the Chantilly, add the cream and icing sugar together and whisk until light soft peaks.
• Cut up the bananas and place them on top of your pie. Once the bananas are on, add the Chantilly as a smooth layer on top, place back into the fridge for 15 to 20mins.
• Then take it out of the mould carefully! Grate on top the chocolate you froze before and serve!
