You have to let it cool though before opening it and I use philadelfia or marscapone whipped with cream as a topping. It's more solid-. I remember the first time I had Banoffe Pie was in Jersey in the Channel Islands. My mother had invited me out to lunch while I was staying with her on holiday. I remember trying to guess how it was made. In the days after I searched for the recipe but alas, it wasn't as famous as I had imagined and I returned to Italy without it. I should add that I didn't have a computer in those days. Anyway I got in touch with friends but no one could help me. Then as luck would have it a friend was going to see her folks in Jerseyand she went with her mother and aunt to the same restaurant and guess what they all ordered for dessert? After lunch they all trailed into the nearest bookshop and searched for the recipe and believe it or not they found one! But, the book was large and expensive with fabulous photos and they just didn't want to lash out. So they trailed into a nearby stationers and bought notebook and pencil and back to the bookshop! Then it was a matter of copying the recipe while the other two kept a look out for curious shopgirls. To cut a long story short, this is how I came by my first recipe for the fabulous Banoffee Pie I usually heat my condensed milk in the tin in boiling water. You have to let it cool though before opening it and I use philadelfia or marscapone whipped with cream as a topping. It’s more solid-.

I didn't realise that there were two saucepans, one inside the other. Ahhh, OK I get it. I didn’t realise that there were two saucepans, one inside the other.
