Sticky, gooey, ridiculously sweet. Will win you friends and influence people. Serves 6 generously
- 120g digestive biscuits (about 8 of them)
- 60g butter, melted
- 200g tinned Carnation caramel (annoyingly half a tin) or dulce de leche
- 2 bananas
- 150ml double cream
- Chocolate shavings to decorate
If you don’t have caramel, you can cook a tin of condensed milk by placing it in a saucepan, fully covering the tin with water, bringing to the boil and simmering uncovered for 3 hours.You will probably need to keep topping the water up. Then remove from the pan and allow to cool completely before opening.So then it’s just a construction job.
You need a tin or serving dish and, if you want to serve it like a cheesecake, you’ll need a lined springform tin
- Crush the digestives to crumbs and pour over the melted butter
- Mix together and press into the bottom of the tin/dish
- Leave on one side to cool and harden for at least 15 mins
- Cut the bananas into rounds and whip the cream until thick but not stiff
- Spread the caramel over the biscuit base, arrange the banana slices on top in an even layer and finish with a layer of whipped cream
- Decorate with grated dark chocolate or cocoa powder
