Banoffee Pie

[cookie1]

It certainly looks tasty.

I guess we will soon find out

It is really thick Dede.  Kind of looks a bit lumpy when you put it on top of the bananas. Always tastes smooth though. 

[dede]

Oh good, sounds like I did it right then. Will be trying some soon.

[dede]

Ok have had some dessert (only a little bit)
I'm not sure if I liked it or not, it was nice but quiet sickly, not sure if I would make it again though. But I can now say I have tried a Banoffee pie. If it was served up to me I would definitely eat it again, but not my favorite dessert.
DH and DS (14) enjoyed it , DD (12) was not feeling well so she didn't try any, DD (9) didn't like it and DS (5) wouldn't even try any.

I wonder if the rest will get eaten over the next few days?

[dede]

Oh and no disrespect meant for the recipe at all, as it was a great recipe, easy to follow and make.
Its not that I didn't like it, it's more that it's not to my taste, it was still nice, just a bit rich for me.

[Debbiebillg]

Yehh it is quite rich Dede, you only have a small slice.  I only make it to take to gatherings.  One piece every now and again is enough for me.  I do really like it though. Everyone who had it last night loved it.

[dede]

Yes I can understand the very small helping. I made it with the biscuit base, the recipe certainly makes a large amount.

Would be nice made as individual pies, tiny ones  

[dede]

In the shallow muffin top tins would work well, now that's a great idea.

[judydawn]

Would they be deep enough Mandi?  I was thinking mini muffin trays.

[Debbiebillg]

I was just having another read of this recipe.  I always make this with a biscuit base but I always bake it (about 10mins at 170 degrees). I think it may change the taste of the base slightly (and I'm only basing this on remembering what the base tastes like on a cheesecake where the base isn't baked).  I was checking the recipe and noticed it says to put in the fridge to set. It is quite crunchy after being in the oven and may make the base less rich  

[dede]

Yes Judy I think you right, they wouldn't be deep enough.

And I did bake my biscuit base for around 10 minutes as well

[dede]

Ok well I just discovered that the Banoffee pie is heaps better the next day, decided to have a little bit tonight again, this time I really enjoyed it. Thumbs up from me and everyone else. DH agreed that it is much nicer today.

[Debbiebillg]

Wow that's interesting Dede, good to know for future.  I always make it at night when the kids are in bed for taking somewhere the next day.  Why did you think it was better ? Did it set a bit more / properly chilled ?
