Ingredients
Cookie crust
- 300 grams (3 cups) Digestive biscuits or graham crackers*, broken into smaller pieces
- 170 grams (3/4 cup) unsalted butter
Caramel
- 60 grams (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
- 90 grams (1/2 cup) brown sugar
- 240 ml (1 cup) sweetened condensed milk
- 150 grams (1 cup) dark or semi-sweet chocolate
Topping
- 2 large bananas
- 240 ml (1 cup) thickened or heavy cream, whipped
- 75 grams (1/2 cup) dark or semi-sweet chocolate, grated
Instructions
- Coat a 9-inch pie tin with grease.
- Crush the biscuits or crackers in a food processor (or use a bag and a rolling pin). Melt the butter and mix it into the cracker crumbs until the mixture looks like wet sand.
- Transfer the crumbs into a pan, press down evenly into the bottom and then put it into the fridge.
- Melt your chocolate, leave to cool for only a minute and then pour over your cookie crust. Put it back in the fridge.
- Make the caramel cream by adding brown sugar, butter and condensed milk in a saucepan and place on low-medium heat. Stir until the caramel thickens and the sugar is completely melted, then add a pinch of salt and set aside to cool.
- Pour caramel over cookie crust and put it back in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours or overnight to set.
- Before serving, top the dessert with banana slices, whipped cream, and chocolate shavings.
