For years I have wanted to make a Banoffee Pie and finally I have found the time and patience to do it. Actually, it doesn’t even take that long and is quite easy to prepare.
A few years ago I was visiting Mallorca quiet a lot, there is a coffee house chain where I always ordered a Banoffee Pie to my coffee and I really really loved it. I haven’t eaten it since and was really craving it, something to lighten up the quarantin blues. It just takes a tiny bit of patience to let the toffee cool down but all in all it’s a pretty simple recipe. It takes a while to melt the sugar but as soon as it starts to melt, it will also burn really quickly, so don’t lose sight of it.
A little suggestion on the side, if you want it to be a little more “fancy”, you can mix some sea salt into the toffee. By the way, I like to use a tart mould where the bottom can be lifted upwards, so you never have the problem of getting tartes, pies, quiches or other things out of the mould.

As soon as the sugar is completely melted, carefully stir in the condensed milk and let it simmer for a few more minutes. Take the tart out of the fridge and spread toffee on top. Place in the fridge for another hour.
