Banoffee Danger Pie
By NickiR
Your first step can be done way ahead of time (at least hours but can be as much as months before)
- 3 bananas
- 1 tin of sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 1 package of digestive biscuits or graham crackers
- 1 stick of butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 small bar of chocolate
- (Tricia: I added lots of pecans and instead of chocolate bar, I chopped mint chocolate chips)
- If you don't mind using store bought ingredients you can cut down a lot on the steps but since I was posting it I figured I would make a proper version entirely from scratch just for you.
