3. Put the crumbs in a removable mold (diameter 16-18 cm) and tamp, forming the bottom and sides of the future pie. It is convenient to do this with a glass. Thickness - about 5-6 mm. Put in the refrigerator.
4. Prepare the caramel: put sugar and water on the fire and cook until caramel color, but do not stir - the saucepan must be tilted from side to side from time to time. Add cubes of cold butter and warm cream (120 g). Mix until smooth.
5. Remove the mold with the base from the refrigerator, pour a layer of caramel (or toffee) on the bottom and distribute. Place a layer of sliced bananas. Repeat layers as desired. Whip the cream to thick peaks and cover the top of the cake.
If you want a banoffee pie with cream cheese, then combine the cream (the amount should be reduced by 2 times and take 100 g) with cheese (100 g) and beat with a mixer.
Put the banana cake in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
