Tips:

  • For the perfect pastry crust, use a food processor to combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Then, add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • When adding the water, do it one tablespoon at a time, until the dough just comes together. Avoid overworking the dough, or it will become tough.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can also make the pastry crust by hand. Just be sure to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • For the caramel, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir the sugar and water constantly. This will prevent the sugar from burning.
  • Once the caramel has reached a deep amber color, remove it from the heat and stir in the butter and cream. Be careful, as the mixture will bubble up vigorously.
  • For the whipped cream, use heavy cream that is at least 35% fat. This will ensure that the whipped cream is stiff and holds its shape.
  • When assembling the banoffee pie, start with a layer of pastry crust. Then, add a layer of caramel, followed by a layer of sliced bananas. Top with another layer of pastry crust and then chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving.

Conclusion:
