This is one of the days that I feel the need to spoil myself. And for me, that is serving myself with a mouthwatering dessert. “A mix of banana and toffee.” You heard that right, I want to have my dose of bananas. I’ve read in an article that the famous saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” is no longer true. And believe it or not, “A banana a day keeps the doctor away!” So after being enlightened about that new info, I could say that spoiling myself with the right food is not at all bad. But good, better, and BEST. So here’s the recipe for you:

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon mixed spice
4 cups butter, melted
2 1/2 cups biscuits, finely crushed
Filling:

1 cup butter
1/2 cup caster sugar
1/2 cup dark brown soft sugar
397g can Condensed Milk
1 tablespoon black treacle
3/4 cup dark chocolate, melted

Topping:
4 small bananas
1 cup double cream, lightly whipped
cocoa powder, to dust

Procedure:

1. Mix together cocoa powder, mixed spice, melted butter, and crushed biscuits. Blend well.

2. Press the mixture into the base and partway up the sides of a 20cm (8in) loose-bottomed cake tin. Chill for a couple of minutes until it sets to the pan.
3. Filling: Mix butter and sugars into a saucepan over low heat. Stir until butter melts and the sugar dissolves. Add condensed milk and bring gently to a boil. Stir continuously until golden caramel. Remove from the heat. Add treacle and melted chocolate. Mix thoroughly.

4. Spread the filling over the biscuit base and chill for 1 hour and 30 minutes, until firm.
To serve, slice the bananas, fold half of them into the whipped cream and spoon over the toffee base. Decorate with the remaining bananas and dust liberally with cocoa powder.

You do have your creative side. I’m sure. So go decorating them like it leaves no words left to be uttered.
