Step 1

Prepare the Crust 🍪

Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a blender or rolling pin.
Mix the melted butter into the biscuit crumbs until well moistened.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 8-inch pan, making a crust with a small lip around the edge.

Step 2

Layering the Dessert 🍌🍫

Spread caramel over the biscuit base and chill in the refrigerator.
Whip the heavy cream from low to high speed until it holds its shape. Use cold cream for best results.
Slice the banana into rounds and arrange on top of the caramel. Create one or two layers as you prefer.
Sprinkle finely chopped chocolate over the bananas.
Spread the whipped cream over the banana layer. Optionally, dust with cocoa powder.
Refrigerate for 2 hours before enjoying.
