Banoffee pie

Banoffee pie is a dessert pie made from bananas, toffee, and cream, and originating in England. The dish is usually served chilled, although some varieties may be served warm. It can be made with either a pastry or biscuit base, and is sometimes garnished with chocolate shavings, whipped cream, or a flake.

The word "banoffee" is a blend of the words "banana" and "toffee". The earliest known recipe for banoffee pie appeared in The Telegraph on 9 February 1971. The recipe was created by Chef Nigel Mackenzie of The Hungry Monk restaurant in Jevington, East Sussex.

The dish gained popularity in the United Kingdom in the 1970s, and has since been exported to other countries, including the United States, Australia, and Canada.
