I feel like there are nothing much to say about this kind of dessert, only that I love it.
Banoffee pie is the combination of banana and toffee sauce. The easiest way to get the toffee sauce is... going out to buy a can of dulce de leche, ^ ^, but the problem is if you don't have it at home or you don't want to go to buy it what can you do?
For me I just boil one can of the sweetened condensed milk in the pan over low heat for 4 hours (some people said that this method can be dangerous, but I have to say that everything in the kitchen will be dangerous if you don't pay attention to it). The key is always adding the water to cover most of the can and don't use high heat, that's all, then allow it to cool before open it.
For this recipe, I make a little change because I love to use the Oreo cookies (one of my favorite ^ ^), instead of the chocolate digestive cookie, which I don't usually have it at home. And if you like Oreo as much as I do you will love this banoffee pies more than the original version too, haha.
Actually I start to realize that I have many recipe that use the Oreo, so don't be surprised when you see my next post to have this name "Oreo" again, haha.

This looks delicious, and I want to make this! I am wondering, is it safe to boil a can though?
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteBoiling a can of condensed milk seen to make some people worried ^ ^".
But it's safe as long as you don't let the water in the pan dry.
