Frozen Banoffee Pie
Ingredients:
225 gm unsalted butter
200 gm digestive biscuits
150 gm brown sugar
1 can (397 gm) condensed milk
A pinch of sea salt flakes
2 ripe bananas
150 ml whipping cream
100 gm milk chocolate, grated

Method:
>> First, make the biscuit base. Melt the butter in a medium-sized pan. Put the biscuits into a food bag and crush with a rolling pin till they become fine granules.
>> Tip the biscuit crumbs into the melted butter until evenly coated. Pour the mixture into the centre of a 23cm/9-inch loose-bottomed tart tin. Then press the mixture firmly over the base of the tin and up the sides. Transfer the base to the fridge to chill for about 30 minutes until firm.
>> While the base cools, make the caramel. Heat the brown sugar and butter together in a pan over medium heat until the butter melts and the sugar gets dissolved.
>> Stir in the condensed milk and the sea salt flakes. Bring up to boil and then take it off the heat.
>> Take the biscuit base out of the fridge and pour the caramel onto the biscuit base. Transfer to fridge and leave it to cool completely. Serve chilled.
