Making Banoffee Pie is straightforward. Follow these steps for a delicious outcome:

1. Prepare the Base: Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter until well combined.
2. Form the Crust: Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the back of a spoon for a firm base.
3. Make the Toffee: In a saucepan, gently heat the sweetened condensed milk over low heat. Stir continuously for about 5-10 minutes until it thickens and turns a caramel color.
4. Spread the Toffee: Pour the toffee mixture over the biscuit base, spreading it evenly. Let it cool slightly.
5. Add Bananas: Slice the ripe bananas and layer them over the toffee, covering it completely.
6. Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
7. Top the Pie: Spread the whipped cream over the bananas, creating a fluffy layer.
8. Garnish: Finish with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder for an elegant touch.
9. Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving. This helps the flavors develop and makes slicing easier.
