Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Crush the biscuits into crumbs with the end of a rolling pin. This is best done inside a freezer bag to avoid spillage and loss.

  2. Step 2

    Melt two-fifths of the butter (about 4 oz) in a large saucepan. Once melted, take off the heat and mix in the biscuit crumbs.

  3. Step 3

    Press into the bottom of an 8-inch (20 cm) loose-bottomed pie tin, and transfer to the fridge to chill.

  4. Step 4

    Place the remaining butter with the sugar into a medium-sized saucepan (ideally non-stick if you don't like dish washing). Melt over a medium heat, stirring until the butter has melted and the sugar is just starting to melt.

  5. Step 5

    Add the condensed milk and bring to the boil, stirring continuously for 5 minutes to make your caramel.

  6. Step 6

    Slice the bananas, arrange over the crumb base, and pour the caramel over the top.

  7. Step 7

    Chill for at least an hour so the caramel firms up.

  8. Step 8

    Prior to serving, whip the cream, and spoon over the top. Optionally, garnish with some grated chocolate or Cape gooseberries.
