Banoffe Pie (the oddest name for a pie you will ever hear)

So, today we are going to do things a little bit differently. Upside down you might call it.

We are going to start with the recipe, then we are going to have a little blurb thing after...

The Ingredients (I know what you're thinking. Yes, this is the boring part, but it has to be done):
Also, credits go to allrecipies.com for the ingredients and procedure!

1 1/2 cups of digestive biscuit crumbs
1 cup of butter
1/2 cup of white sugar
3 teaspoons of ground ginger
1 (14 ounces) can of sweetened, condensed milk
2 bananas (sliced)
2 cups of heavy whipping cream
1 chocolate bar (grated, milk chocolate preferably)

Procedure:

Mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter or margarine, and ginger until well blended. Then press the mixture into a 9 inch pie plate. Make sure to press it evenly around the pan, and eliminate any imperfections. Following this, cool it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

In a sauce pan, boil an unopened can of sweetened condensed milk for 3 hours. Monitor the water closely, making sure there is always water in the pan. Remove the can from the heat and let it cool for 10-15 minutes.

Open the the can and pour the toffee into the pie crust. Allow to cool.

Evenly slice bananas over toffee.

Whip 2 cups of whipping cream and spoon it on top of the bananas. Refrigerate before serving.

The sweetened, condensed milk is boiling in a pan for 3 hours.

Follow these instructions and you too, can be a great chef like I have become through my hard work and dedication to food of all sorts. Now that you have made your delicious Bannoffee pie, it is time for our blurb.

I wanted to tell you why I chose to write about Banoffee pie. My lovely Aunt Helen came to visit during Christmas break, and she chose to make a delicious stir fry dinner (I will share the recipe with you on another post). Afterwards, having made a huge deal of the situation, she brought out from the refrigerator, a massive Banoffee pie. As I laid eyes on the spectacular dessert, filled with bananas, toffee and topped off with a sprinkling of delicate chocolate curls, my mouth would not stop watering. I remember being so ecstatic at the sight of the pie, because the last time I had eaten it was back when I was 8 years old, living in boring New York. It was one of my favorite 'puddings,' as the british would say, from when I was younger. It is so delicious with the crunchy digestive biscuit base, with a delicious rich, and sugary toffee layer, topped with whipped cream, and if you want,  some grated chocolate sprinkled over the top. Soo good! Make sure to try this delightful and famous British treat, perhaps after a meal or even as an afternoon snack.
