Total 02:00
Yield 6–8 servings

Ingredients

  • 9 oz (250 g / 16 ea.) gingernut (or digestive) biscuits
  • 10 oz (275 g / 2¼ sticks) butter
  • 1 tin (400 g / 14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 6 oz (175 g / ¾ cup) caster sugar
  • ¼ pint (150 ml / ⅔ cup) double cream
  • 2 bananas

Instructions

  1. 1
    Crush the biscuits into crumbs with the end of a rolling pin. This is best done inside a freezer bag to avoid spillage and loss.
  2. 2
    Melt two-fifths of the butter (about 4 oz) in a large saucepan. Once melted, take off the heat and mix in the biscuit crumbs.
  3. 3
    Press into the bottom of an 8-inch (20 cm) loose-bottomed pie tin, and transfer to the fridge to chill.
  4. 4
    Place the remaining butter with the sugar into a medium-sized saucepan (ideally non-stick if you don't like dish washing). Melt over a medium heat, stirring until the butter has melted and the sugar is just starting to melt.
  5. 5
    Add the condensed milk and bring to the boil, stirring continuously for 5 minutes to make your caramel.
  6. 6
    Slice the bananas, arrange over the crumb base, and pour the caramel over the top.
  7. 7
    Chill for at least an hour so the caramel firms up.
  8. 8
    Prior to serving, whip the cream, and spoon over the top. Optionally, garnish with some grated chocolate or Cape gooseberries.
