Banoffee Pie Trifles
Banoffee pie is a British dessert made from bananas, cream and a thick caramel sauce but we gave it the WGC spin and made it into individual trifles! Best decisions I've ever made!

Course: Dessert
Cuisine: English
Servings: 4 servings
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheet graham crackers)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 bananas
- 1 ¼ cup store bought dulce de leche
For the Whipped Cream
- 2 cups heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- chocolate shavings optional
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Using a food processor or blender, pulse the graham crackers to grind them up. Once the graham crackers are a fine consistency, mix the crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar together in a medium bowl until evenly combined. Transfer the mixture on a small baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes.
Assemble the trifles by layering a spoonful of the graham cracker crumbs, a spoonful of dulce de leche, 5-6 slices of banana, and some whipped cream.
Garnish with chocolate shavings before serving, if desired or some more crumbled graham crackers.
For the Whipped Cream
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until medium peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Medium peaks are between soft/loose peaks and stiff peaks and are the perfect consistency for topping and piping on desserts.
You can easily buy store bought Dulce de Leche. It’s available in most markets and usually found close to the evaporated or condensed milk. If you happen to have leftovers, this is another favoriteway to use it!
