[…] Recipe Link: Honey and Lemon Chocolate Truffles Knock Your Socks Off Banoffee Pie […]
The Banoffee Pie looks delicious. Only one problem…The banana filling directions says “Heat the the Milk and Cream” but the ingredient list has only “180g (3/4 cup) Heavy Cream” listed. I don’t see any milk quantity on the ingredient list.
Am I missing or not understanding something??
Updated – there is no milk in this recipe
Can you dehydrate bananas and blend them till smooth in lieu of banana powder? It’s a bit hard to get in my country
It would not be the same. Ground up banana would not have a carrier to give it the same flavoring properties as banana powder.
Hi!!
For the crust…
Could I use Oat flour in lieu of wheat flour for this? (therefore rendering it gluten free)
Or would it be too tough?
Yes, you can substitute oats in this recipe but you will have to add it in small amounts at a time so that it does not become too stiff and unworkable.
I tried it! Next time i will roll it thinner. It turned out like a cookie.
P.S. the pie was a hit! I am taking it to Thanksgiving next!
