The Dilemma. I have almost a kilo of ripe bananas in my freezer.
Probably a little over ripe.
I'm a huge banana bread fan but not so much muffin or cupcake variations. That said, I can't quite stomach banana bread for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Pie on the other hand, is a big possible yes. Likewise with cake. Are over ripe bananas a no-no for pies?
I've never made a banoffee pie before and haven't a clue of where to start. Can anyone vouch for this Curtis Stone recipe or if not aware of a better and simpler one?
Banoffee Pie - Curtis Stone
Here's another strong contender i've come across- Salted chocolate fudge banana cake.
The idea of sea salt on ganache is interesting and has me curious to try it. I think I know which recipe i'm leaning more towards ;)

I tried to make bannoffee pie once and it didn't turn out quite the way I was hoping, I didn't do the meringue properly. I can find the ducle de leche in it a bit overpowering. The cake would probably be more of a pleasure to eat over and over, and sea salt + chocolate to me is a winning combination!
ReplyDeleteWhat did you end up making?? :)
ReplyDeleteI went with the salted banana chocolate fudge cake. Made it last night and taking it over to a friends later today. Will update on how it turned out..hahaha so far it looks okay, flavour on the other hand is a big question. I picked some bits and it was yum hehe ;)
DeleteAnything salted chocolate/caramel has me. It is a match made in heaven.
ReplyDeleteI'd been using frozen bananas for my banana bread lately, when I ran out and went back to fresh I realised the taste is incomparable. You lose so much flavour in freezing.
