Easy Banoffee Pie

An indulgent no bake easy banoffee pie with a buttery biscuit base, rich caramel, fresh bananas, and whipped cream, finished with a sprinkle of chocolate. Perfect for family gatherings or easy entertaining.

Banoffee pie has always been one of those desserts that makes everyone stop and smile when you bring it to the table. The combination of caramel, bananas, and cream feels indulgent yet homely, and it is one of the easiest recipes you will ever make. I decided to make this version on a Sunday afternoon when my daughter and her children were visiting, and it turned out to be the perfect treat.

The kids loved helping me slice the bananas and scatter the chocolate shavings on top, while the adults appreciated how little effort it took for such a show stopping dessert. I love that this pie requires no baking and can be made ahead, which makes it an ideal choice for family gatherings or even a simple weeknight treat when you want something special without fuss.

The flavors are rich but balanced, with the sweet caramel contrasting beautifully against the freshness of the bananas and the lightness of the cream. Everyone had second helpings and there were barely any leftovers, which is always the best sign that a recipe is worth keeping close.

Questions You May Have About This Recipe

Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare it the day before. Just keep it chilled in the fridge until serving.

What type of biscuits work best for the base?
Digestive biscuits are traditional, but graham crackers or similar will work just as well.

Do I need to make my own caramel?
No, using a tin of caramel or dulce de leche makes this recipe quicker and just as tasty.

How do I stop the bananas from browning?
You can brush the slices lightly with lemon juice to slow down browning.

Can I freeze banoffee pie?
It is not ideal to freeze as the bananas and cream do not hold up well once thawed.
