No Bake Simple Banoffee Pie

This simple, no bake banoffee pie has layers of buttery biscuit base, thick and sweet caramel, slices of fresh banana and a cloud of soft whipped cream. An easy, delicious no bake dessert that is sure to be an instant crowd pleaser!

Aside from being completely delightful, banoffee pie is the easiest dessert you’ll ever make!

The crunchy banoffee pie biscuit base contains only two ingredients (biscuits + butter) and requires a little refrigeration time.

Then, simply layer the remaining ingredients and you are in banana + toffee heaven! So simple, so easy.

I am sharing two methods to making this stunning dessert. The first contains instructions to make your own caramel filling. But I have also included notes to a simpler, pre-made caramel condensed milk filling. The second method literally makes this an unbelievably lazy dessert, no baking or cooking required! You are basically just assembling the layers.

Simple Banofee Pie from Scratch

 

Banoffee Pie Biscuit Base:

To make the easy biscuit base, the biscuits are crushed in a food processor until they resemble a fine crumb. Then melted butter is stirred though. The base is pressed into a pie tin before being refrigerated to set (no baking required!).

For this recipe I use Butternut Snap biscuits, but you could also swap them out for Digestive biscuits, Graham Crackers or your favourite sweet biscuits.

Banoffee Pie Caramel Condensed Milk Filling:

 

If you are short on time or prefer an easier option, the toffee filling is something that can be easily purchased.

The recipe below explains how to make your own by cooking sweetened condensed milk with brown sugar and butter. But if you want a quick and easy dessert with basic ingredients you can also cheat by using pre-made caramel (dulce de leche). Either way is delicious!

This incredible caramel filling can be purchased by the can and is SO GOOD! In Australia, I use Nestle ‘Top n Fill’ which is available in most supermarkets. I prefer making the caramel from scratch for this dish, but using pre-made caramel condensed milk seriously makes this pie the easiest dessert ever.

Bananas:

This element is very self explanatory. Thick slices of fresh banana are layered over the banoffee pie biscuit base before the sweet caramel topping is drizzled over the top. Have you ever eaten caramel and banana together before? If not, you’ve been missing out. But it’s not too late! Banana and caramel together is a match made in heaven!

Whipped Cream:

Finally, the dessert is finished with fluffy lashings of whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

This dessert is so simple that you might feel as if you have missed a step! But it really is that easy. A super quick and easy dessert that is sure to have everyone hooked.

Of all the easy, delicious no bake desserts, this simple banoffee pie is my favourite. It is pretty, easy and everyone will love it. If you try it, I’d love to hear about it!
