Banoffee pie cups are an easy, no-bake dessert that layers buttery cookie crumbs, sliced banana, dulce de leche, and whipped cream in individual cups. Ready in 15 minutes plus a short chill, they are a quick single-serving twist on the classic British banoffee pie.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3.5 oz (100 g) shortbread cookies
  • 0.8 oz (25 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 yellow bananas 
  • 3 tablespoons dulce de leche
  • 1 1/2 cups (300 ml) whipping cream
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons (20 g) brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon orange flower water (optional)

* If needed, please refer to Baking Conversion Charts.

Instructions

  1. Place shortbread cookies in a food processor and pulse to make cookie crumbs. Use your hands to mix crumbs with softened butter.
  2. Divide three-quarters of the mixture between three cups, placing cookie crumbs at the bottom. Add slices from half a banana to each cup and a generous spoonful of dulce de leche.
  3. Whisk together whipping cream, brown sugar, and orange flower water. Using a pastry bag with your favorite tip, pipe the cream onto the sliced banana, or spoon it on top. Sprinkle with the remaining crumbled shortbread cookies. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  1. Use store-bought shortbread fingers or swap with tea biscuits like Digestive cookies.
  2. Create one to two layers of banana slices, dulce de leche, and whipped cream if desired.
  3. Crush the cookies with your fingers if you don't have a food processor.
  4. Replace orange blossom water with vanilla extract if desired.
  5. Replace dulce de leche with cooked sweetened condensed milk. Read here on how to cook sweetened condensed milk.
  6. Use any available cups or glasses to serve the dessert.
