Chocolate Banoffee Pie (No Bake Recipe)
Chocolate banoffee pie is a twist on the classic British Banoffee Pie. I decided to add a layer of chocolate ganache and it was a huge success!
This is a recipe I created in honor of Joan Hayes, the founder of Chocolate, Chocolate and More–a blog dedicated to all things chocolate. Sadly, Joan suddenly passed away in October, leaving behind three young children.

Although I never met Joan, I know the kind of recipes she liked, and I’m sure she would have loved this one: it’s a quick, easy to make dessert which contains not only chocolate, but caramel and cream. It’s fabulous!
You may recall, I recently posted my own version of a traditional Banoffee pie, which I’d been wanting to share with you for ages.
Well, when I made the pie, I couldn’t help but imagining another layer on top of the caramel: a rich chocolate ganache. After tasting this version, I like it even more than the original, and it looks more spectacular, too!

You won’t even believe how simple this chocolate banoffee pie is to make. If you use a ready-made pie crust and already caramelized condensed milk, there’s almost no cooking involved! Just slice bananas to arrange on the bottom of the crust, pour on the caramel, then the ganache.
Then all that’s left to do is to top it with freshly whipped cream. You don’t even need to pipe it if you don’t want to, and you can cover the entire top if you like; easy-peasy! Sprinkles are also optional.

I have actually never made or tried banoffee pie before but I want some now!
:)
Wow, that looks like chocolate heaven right about now! Yum. I’ve never made this pie, and it looks amazing.
I LOVE this! The banana, the chocolate, and the dulce de leche sounds like it’s right up my ally! I am definitely craving this now!
It’s a great combo!
So sad to hear about Joan. As you say, I’m sure she would love this and it’s a great tribute to her. What a wonderfully easy recipe and looks delicious too. That top photo already had me lured in: the chocolate is so beautifully shiny we can just imagine the fork skating in there!
Missed this comment! Thank you, Jill!
Wow! This looks so delicious! I’ve never had a banoffee pie, but the addition of chocolate and dulce de leche makes it very tempting for sure!
The added chocolate does seal the deal for me, at least! Thanks, Cynthia!
Christina – you constantly outdo yourself. You are a baking pro and I always enjoy seeing your new recipes. What brand of chocolate do you usually use in your recipes?
Awww, Patricia! You are much too kind and that is such a compliment coming from you! I used Callebaut chocolate chips in this Banoffee Pie, but often used Trader Joe’s semi-sweet chips, or Belgian chocolate. It just has to be good quality. :)
This looks wonderful I think it would be good to take for a work event when we need to bring a dessert! Sorry to hear about Joan’s passing. It is hard to see those gone way too soon.
Yes, it was very sad, Rosemary. I’m sure your colleagues would love the Banoffee Pie. Thanks for stopping by.
