Individual No-Bake Banoffee Pies (Banana Toffee Pies)

Incredibly delicious!

That pretty much sums up my thoughts on this delicious dessert. Banana and toffee pies are simply amazing (btw, that’s where the name ‘banoffee’ comes from: banana + toffee = banoffee).

In fact, I did not even know I am such a big fan of banana and toffee combination! But now it’s clear to me – it is a flavor combo to die for.

In addition to being super-yummy, this simplified version of the classic Banoffee Pie is also no-bake, served in a jar and extremely quick to make. I am sure you will just love it!

And in case you’d like to prepare this lovely treat too, here is how…

3. Add the caramel.

If too thick, you might need to dilute it with a little bit of milk.
