This dedicated to Dave O and all Banoffee pie lovers out there - lets spread the word
A great reference to all things Banoffee can be found at The Banoffee Pie Page
However for those of you desperate for the recipe already ...
Ingredients
2 Tins (~400g) of condensed milk
Three large bananas
One packet of digestives or similar
2 tablespoons margarine (or butter)
Half-pint of double cream, or whipping cream
Method
Put the sealed tin of condensed milk in a pan of boiling water and allow to boil/simmer for around 2 hours. Place a lid on the pan to prevent all the water boiling off. ***do not let the water boil dry***
When done, remove the tin and leave to cool.
While the milk is cooking make the base.
Crush the biscuits in a freezer bag with a rolling pin until they are reduced to crumbs. Gently heat some margarine in a saucepan or a microwave until soft/liquid.
Pour crumbs and liquid/soft margarine and mix in with the crumbs until they start to bind together. Transfer the biscuit crumbs to a round dish and flatten with a spoon so that the base is covered. Place in the fridge to set.
When the tins are cool enough to handle, open carefully - the condensed milk will have caramelised and may well shoot out the opening.
Pour/spoon the toffee from the tin onto the biscuit base of the dish.
Slice the bananas and arrange them on top of the toffee.
Cover in cream as required.

I picked up some digestives over the weekend at a specialty store, so Dave and I decided to attempt your recipe again. I think it turned out. We won't actually get to taste it until an Oktoberfest party this weekend, but the toffee tasted great.
We also learned that if you open a can of the condensed milk too early, you can put the milk into a ziplock freezer bag and throw that into the boiling/simmering water. :)
