Banoffee pie, finally! (the almost easy way;)

If I ever had to make a top ten list with my favorite desserts, I would include on top my Tiramisu ;) and somewhere in the middle I would add the cheesecake, cannoli a la siciliana and of course the banoffee pie.
While I am trying to decide for the order, let's discover together a pie that is very popular and if you have never tried before, this is the moment to go ...
Banoffee stands for banana+toffee (caramel cream) and it's a pie that was invented or better evolved (as all recipes do) in the 70's, the period that all marvels have been born (like me :))))
There is lot's of discussion about what is the best way to do it on the web, especially concerning the toffee part that is called also "dulce con leche" or "confiture de lait" in french and you can get it even ready made at the supermarket! This is my favorite article that discusses about it.
Have I persuade you ? Let's go then!


Ingredients
Base:
100gr butter
250gr digestive biscuits, crushed
2 bananas, sliced
Toffee/caramel: (you can instead buy the ready-made one!)
100gr butter
100gr dark brown sugar
397gr can condensed milk (e.g., Nestle)
Topping:
300ml carton whipping cream (whipped)
cocoa powder to sprinkle
bananas to decorate (optional)
 
Procedure 

Prepare the base mixing the crushed biscuits with the melted butter and spoon it in a 20cm loose-bottomed cake tin, greased making a layer like for a cheesecake.
Add a layer on top with the banana slices and put it in the fridge.

Prepare the toffee the easy way by melting the butter in a non-stick large saucepan, add the sugar and stir to melt too. Pour in the milk and let it boil for a minute stirring all the time to become a thick caramel.
Spread on the base, let it chill and fridge for an hour.   
  

 Whip the cream and add it on top. Put it back to the fridge for several hours. When you want to serve it, sprinkle some cocoa powder and optionally decorate with some extra bananas.

I am sure that you will die for it!
