Banoffee Pie

This British favorite has a crumbly cookie crust filled with layers of rich toffee-like dulce de leche (caramelized milk), sliced banana, fluffy whipped cream, and grated chocolate. The soft creamy layers are contrasted by a crunchy biscuit crust. Banoffee pie is served as dessert, or as an accompaniment to tea or coffee.
