What is the toffee caramel layer in banoffee pie traditionally made from? ›

Butterscotch vs Caramel

Sugar syrup: Dip the banana slices in a sugar syrup to coat them before adding to the pie. The sugar will create a barrier against the air and help prevent browning.

Bananas: If you want to stop your bananas going brown and sticky, and also add a 'tang' you can toss them in a little lemon juice before putting on top of the pie. Double cream: Whip until firm but still floppy and soft. It should hold it's shape but not be starting to look 'lumpy'.

Melt 200g of butter in the microwave (in a large microwavable bowl) for 2-3 minutes, then add the condensed milk and golden syrup. Whisk the mixture well until the butter is thoroughly incorporated. Heat for 6-7 minutes until it is boiling, stirring thoroughly every minute.

This is a simple baking hack to create 'Carmel in a Can' (Dulce De Leche). It comes together super easy, all you need to do is take the label off a can of condensed milk, fire it into boiling water for about 3 hours (make sure it's fully under the water) and boom, it's ready to go.

For my filling, I simply swap the condensed milk for tinned carnation caramel (a.k.a. dulce de leche) instead. This tinned caramel is actually made from sweetened condensed milk so it's essentially the same thing but it's pre-caramelised for you!

The difference between caramel and toffee is greater, as caramel has a more liquid consistency and is usually pure sugar (it doesn't contain butter or flour).
