Guys this might be my favorite dessert, for sure top five. I love it so much.
Banoffee Pie is a British dessert with a thick toffee or caramel-like layer over a graham cracker crust, topped with a layer of bananas and whipped cream. I learned about it from a video on my discover feed – thank you, Amy Nash!
For the last few months, we’ve been doing this thing in our house called “Family Dessert Night” where I basically make a fun dessert every Thursday night, for no reason except joy.
Sometimes it’s just us, and sometimes we invite other people. It has become a total highlight of the week for us and has also given us a reason to invite people over and build community over a shared love of dessert.
And Banoffee Pie has been THE CLEAR WINNER of our Family Dessert Nights so far!

Be advised: you’re going to need to eat this just one small slice at a time because it’s very rich. But I can almost guarantee that you’ll be revisiting the fridge a few times for “just one more bite” until it’s completely gone. It’s creamy, rich, dense, salty-sweet, and absolutely bonkers delicious.
You should join us for Family Dessert Night! New community challenge that we’re starting up today – I’d love for you to make this with us and share it with the people you love!
And honestly, I live for a graham cracker crust. Take a bite of the warm buttery crumbs before you press them into the pan and tell me that’s not one of the best things you’ve ever eaten.
I set timers and go low and slow. 5 minutes and stir it the whole time. (Sorry for my stained burner in this picture! Woopsies)
Pour your toffee layer into the cooled crust! What a satisfying feeling! Chill in the fridge, or cool at room temperature for a bit.
Layer your sliced bananas and spread the whipped cream over the top!
Your slices should cut nice and clean, but still be soft enough to be very very enjoyable to eat. Like, VERY ENJOYABLE.
