Method

Make the base

Crush the Digestive Biscuits into fine crumbs, then mix them with the melted Unsalted Butter until every crumb looks evenly coated and damp, like wet sand. Tip the mixture into a pie dish and press it firmly across the bottom and a little up the sides with the back of a spoon or the base of a glass. Chill the crust for 15 minutes so it firms up before you add the filling.

Cook the toffee

Set a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat and melt the remaining butter with the Light Brown Sugar (muscovado preferred) and Canned Sweetened Condensed Milk (397 g). Stir constantly, scraping the corners of the pan, for 8–10 minutes until the mixture thickens, bubbles all over, and turns a deep caramel shade. Pour it over the chilled biscuit base and smooth it into an even layer.

Prepare the topping

Slice the Banana (ripe) into thin coins or diagonals. In a separate bowl, whip the Double Cream (softly whipped) with the Vanilla Extract until it holds soft peaks that gently curl over when you lift the whisk.

Assemble the pie

Once the caramel is no longer hot, arrange the banana slices over it in a single generous layer, then spoon or spread the whipped cream on top. Finish with the grated Dark Chocolate (grated, for garnish) for a simple, bittersweet finish.
