Chocolate Banana Toffee Pie

I have been keeping this recipe for many years which is from my book collections. One of the main ingredients is homemade toffee (Dulce de Leche) which I managed to try recently here. As I imagined, this pie is really delicious and mouth watering dessert. My children were non-stop complimenting me in each bite that I felt very thrilled and paid off for my effort. However, my hubby didn't take big portion because the toffee was very sweet (of course!). At the end, there was no leftover & all swept cleaned (I had 4 pieces myself...haha LOL!)

The lovely pie recipe is from the book by Elizabeth Wolf-Cohen but I did not follow the whole recipe. Anyway it provides me the whole idea to assemble the pie and particularly the chocolate filling recipe. The crust and topping recipes are my own version.

  4. Dear Anonymous,
    (appreciate you sign your nick name after the message next time)
    Oven temperature: 180C.
    It states heavy or whipping cream, whichever can do so long whippable. Whipping cream is lighter than double cream and taste better as topping. It is a matter of preference. I've never tried whipping double cream becoz normally it is used as is but not recommended for this recipe.

  6. Your tarts look so good that I decided to try it out!

    However my crust could not stick despite my baking and freezing to set e crust. It still came out crumbly n I can't unmould from my tart base. Can you please advise me on that? Thank you!

  7. Elle,
    I guess your crumbs must be very coarse that it does not stick together. I crushed my biscuits in a plastic bag & pressed with rolling pin - not too many at a time. If you have food processor, it will work too (using pulse setting) but do not use blender because if crumbs too fine, your crust will be too hard - it need to be little crumbly but stick well.
    Another tips is press the mixed crumbs into the tin until it is compact & smooth into shape.
    Hope you'll try again.

    1. VE stands for Vanilla Essence. I've updated the recipe above for full term - surprise that it was a hard guess.
