Make this dessert your bank holiday special treat. It is one of my all time favourites – a combination of banana and toffee within a biscuit base. Whenever I see this dessert on a restaurant menu I look no further. Traditionally the pie is topped with cream and I feel that this spoils it. It’s the toffee and banana part that is divine, so I have written this recipe for all those who do not like thick cream but prefer Greek yoghurt!
This recipe is so popular that there is even a website about it! There are endless variations and hopefully my variation will become one of your favourites.
