Ingredients

  • Pie Shell
  • 3 ounces Digestive Biscuits
  • 2 ounces roasted macadamias
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 5 tablespoons melted butter
  • Banana & Toffee Filling
  • 4 firm bananas
  • 1 lemon - juice
  • 3 tablespoons Cognac
  • 14 ounces (1 tin) Dulce de Leche (regular - not flavored)
  • 1 1/2 cups whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon icing sugar
  • Cocoa to dust
  • 2 tablespoons crushed roasted macadamias

Method

  • Put the Digestive biscuits, roasted macadamias, cocoa powder and salt in a food processor and grind finely. Add the melted butter and process.
  • Press the mixture on the bottom of a springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Cool completely before using. (You can store for a few days but keep in the pan brcause it is very delicate)
  • Process 1 1/2 bananas with 1/2 cup cream, the Cognac and the juice of half a lemon. When creamy mix with the Dulce de Leche. Cover and set aside in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Peel the rest of the bananas and cut in slices. Add the juice of the other half of the lemon to prevent the bananas from turning brown.
  • Whip the remaining cream (1cup) with the icing sugar until hard peaks form.
  • Cover the cooked biscuit/macadamias mixture with the Dulce de Leche/banana/cream mixture. Add the sliced bananas on top and add the whipped cream.
  • Dust with Cocoa and sprinkle the crushed macadamias on top.
