Category: Deserts

Ingredients
250g digestive biscuits, crushed
100g butter, melted
397g can Carnation Caramel
4 small bananas
300ml carton whipping cream, whipped
grated chocolate, to decorate
You will also need...
23cm loose-bottomed tart tin


1. Tip the biscuit crumbs into a
bowl. Add the butter and mix
in. Spoon the crumbs into the
tin. Press into the base and
up the sides of the tin. Chill
for 10 minutes.

2. Spread the caramel over the
base.

3. Slice the bananas and scatter
over the top. Spoon the cream
over the bananas and finish
with grated chocolate.
Chill until ready to serve.


Note: If you can not buy Carnation caramel in a tin you can use Carnation condensed sweetened milk and this is how to do it

For the toffee, remove the label from the condensed milk tin. Place the unopened tin in a deep pot and fill with water about 3cm from the top of the pot, ensuring that the tin is completely immersed in water. Bring the water to the boil and boil steadily for 3 to 4 hours. Keep the kettle handy and add boiling water to the pot regularly; check every 20 to 30 minutes. Ensure that the pot never boils dry and that the tin is always completely immersed in water, otherwise the tin will explode! After boiling, remove tin from water with a pair of tongs and allow to cool 10 to 15 minutes before opening. Do not open the tin until it is cool enough to handle.
