Gluten Free Banoffee Pie Recipe
Yield: 8 servings Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 1 1/2 - 2 hours (if making toffee from scratch) Chill Time: 2 hours
Ingredients
For the Crust:
1 1/2 cups gluten free graham cracker crumbs (or crushed gluten-free digestive biscuits if you’re in the UK)
1/2 cup salted butter, melted
For the Toffee Filling:
2 cans (14 oz each) sweetened condensed milk (or use premade dulce de leche for a quicker option)
For the Topping:
4-5 ripe bananas, sliced
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup chopped dark chocolate (life’s too short for grated chocolate, so grab those chunks!)
Instructions
Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the gluten-free graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until well combined. (Add an extra pinch of salt if you like a little extra kick—I sure do!) Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish, using the back of a spoon to compact it. Stick the crust in the fridge or freezer to cool while you make the filling.
Make the Toffee Filling (if not using premade dulce de leche): Preheat your oven to 400 °F. Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a baking dish and cover it tightly with aluminum foil.Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan and pour hot water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish (creating a water bath).Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, checking occasionally to add more water if needed. The condensed milk will turn a rich, caramel color once it’s transformed into toffee. Let it cool slightly before assembling.
Assemble the Pie: Spread the cooled toffee filling (or premade dulce de leche) evenly over the chilled crust. Arrange the sliced bananas on top of the toffee layer in an even layer.
Make the Whipped Cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the bananas. Add a pinch of salt to the whipped cream if you like—unless your doctor’s watching your sodium intake, in which case, just look innocent.
Add the Final Touch: Sprinkle the chopped dark chocolate over the whipped cream layer. Let’s skip the micro-grating nonsense and go with big, lucky chunks!
Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to set. My stepson the connoisseur says this part is crucial, but if you’re like me, you’ll happily grab a spoon and dig in before it’s fully set.
Tips for Perfect Banoffee Pie
Time Saver: Using premade dulce de leche saves tons of time without sacrificing flavor.
Extra Flair: Add a drizzle of melted chocolate over the top if you’re feeling extra fancy.
Banana Tips: Add the bananas right before the whipped cream to prevent browning if you’re making this in advance.
Remember, life’s too short for boring food and gluten-induced woes. Stay giggly, stay gluten free, and enjoy every luscious bite of this fabulous banoffee pie!
