Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter and granulated sugar. Beat them together until the mixture is creamy and light.
Gradually add all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt, mixing until the dough holds together. If it's too crumbly, add a teaspoon of cold water.
Press the dough into a tart pan and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Step 2
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sweetened condensed milk and unsalted butter. Stir continuously until it comes to a gentle boil.
Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and turns a caramel color. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before pouring it over the shortbread crust.
Step 3
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heat-proof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just boiling. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate.
Allow it to sit for a couple of minutes and then stir until smooth. Carefully pour the ganache over the caramel layer and let it set at room temperature.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until fully incorporated and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
Step 5
Once the chocolate ganache has set, spread the **cheesecake cream** evenly over the top. Decorate with sliced bananas and sprinkle chocolate shavings or cocoa powder on top for garnish.
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving for the flavors to blend beautifully. Slice and enjoy this delicious individual banoffee pie!
Servings
When it comes to serving your stunning Banoffee Tart, presentation is key! π Start by adding a dollop of fresh whipped cream on top and scattering some chocolate shavings for that extra indulgence. If you're feeling adventurous, drizzle some caramel sauce on the plate before placing a slice of the tart for a beautiful touch.
For a perfect afternoon treat, pair your tart with a hot cup of coffee or a refreshing iced tea. βοΈπΉ This tart is also a fantastic addition to any gathering, making it a showstopper at dinner parties or picnics. Imagine sunny days, laughter, and sharing slices of this delightful dessert with family and friends under the open sky! π
Equipment

Variations
Want to make this Banoffee Tart gluten-free? Substitute the traditional sable pastry with a gluten-free cookie crust made from crushed gluten-free cookies! Crushed almonds or oats can also be used to add some texture. π₯
If you're after a vegan version, swap the cream cheese with a cashew cream made from blended soaked cashews, a bit of lemon juice, and some maple syrup. For the caramel layer, use coconut milk caramel to keep it plant-based. π± Both variations offer a delicious twist to the classic dessert while accommodating different dietary preferences!
Faq
- How do I prevent my crust from getting soggy?
Bake your crust until it's golden and fully cooked. Consider blind baking it for a few minutes before adding any fillings!
- What type of chocolate should I use for the ganache?
Using high-quality dark chocolate will give you a richer flavor. Aim for chocolate that is around 60-70% cocoa for the best results.
- Can I make the Banoffee Tart in advance?
Yes! You can assemble it a day in advance and keep it in the refrigerator. Just add the toppings right before serving!
- Whatβs the best way to slice the tart cleanly?
Use a hot, dry knife to cut through the tart, wiping between slices for a clean presentation.
- Can I substitute ingredients without sacrificing flavor?
Absolutely! Experimenting with different sweeteners or dairy alternatives can create unique flavors while keeping the essence of the tart.
- How can I customize the flavor profile of the cream cheese filling?
Add a hint of vanilla extract or a dash of citrus zest to elevate the flavors and make it even more delicious!
