Grunty Banoffee Pie Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp sugar
- Green food coloring (optional)
- Whipped cream and green sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch (23cm) pie dish. Bake it for 8-10 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
- While the crust is cooling, prepare the caramel. In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and salt together over medium heat until it starts to bubble. Stir occasionally and cook the mixture for about 2-3 minutes or until it thickens and turns light brown.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract to the saucepan, whisking continuously. Cook the mixture for another 5-7 minutes or until it thickens and becomes caramel-like.
- Spread the caramel over the cooled crust, covering it evenly. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Add the sliced bananas over the caramel layer, covering it evenly.
- In a medium-sized bowl, beat the heavy cream until it starts to thicken. Add sugar and vanilla extract and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
- If desired, add a few drops of green food coloring to give the whipped cream a Grunty-like appearance.
- Spread the whipped cream over the banana layer, covering it completely.
- Refrigerate the Grunty Banoffee Pie for at least 2 hours or until it firms up.
- Once chilled, top the pie with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of green sprinkles to mimic the Grunt’s armor.
- Cut and serve, and enjoy your delicious Grunty Banoffee Pie dessert inspired by the ‘Halo’ game!
Note: Feel free to get creative with the presentation by garnishing the pie with extra banana slices or drizzles of caramel sauce.
