This is a pretty special banoffee pie I don't mind telling you. That dulce de leche needs its own recipe page! (Watch this space!)

I do carry on about my Heilala vanilla, but like the Thermomix or the BMW, once you have driven the best, there is no going back. It is essential to this recipe as is the homemade dulce de leche, which will soon be getting its own recipe page. It is that good.

I always thought Banoffee Pie was a Kiwi thing, but apparently it was created in 1971 by Ian Dowding and Nigel Mackenzie at The Hungry Monk Restaurant in East Sussex, England. They adapted a recipe for 'Blum’s Coffee Toffee Pie' by adding bananas. Its name is a combo of 'banana' and 'toffee.' Sadly the pub no longer operates, but the pie happily lives on.

Of course I had to put my spin on it, thus the maple cinnamon chewy caramel milk...you will love it. You can make this entire thing dairy free if you use whipped coconut cream for the topping and use a butter substitute in the pastry base.

Do

1: You can make the Dulce de Leche well in advance of needing it. Place milk, sugar, vanilla bean paste and cinnamon into Thermomix bowl and cook 8 min/90ºC/speed 5.
2: Add maple syrup. Cook 40 min/Varoma/speed 5. Place simmering basket or spatter guard on top of lid to allow reduction with minimum mess.
3: Blend 30 sec/speed 6. Chill until ready to assemble pie.
4: Preheat oven to fan forced 180ºC.
5: Make pastry and press into flan dish with removable base. Place in freezer for 20 minutes.
6: Bake for 10 minutes.
7: Remove pastry from oven and top with Dulce de Leche. Bake a further 10-15 minutes.
8: Cool completely.
9: To finish, cut bananas and arrange on top of filling. Drizzle with maple syrup to taste.
10: Whip cream and either pipe or spread on top of bananas and decorate with shaved chocolate.

Serve immediately. You can pre make both the base and the Dulce de Leche. Assemble just prior to serving. You may have to warm the Dulce de Leche in the microwave in order to make it spreadable.
