Keep the cream simple or add a hint of coffee – it works beautifully with the caramel and bananas

Ingredients

1 x 175g pack Chosen by you Coconut Cookies

50g Asda Digestive Biscuits

75g butter, plus extra for greasing

1 level tsp instant coffee (optional)

1 x 397g can Carnation Cook 
With Caramel

3 medium bananas (ripe but firm)

1tsp lemon juice

300ml double cream

Method

1
Grease the base of a 20cm flan tin or shallow round cake tin and line with baking paper. Set aside one coconut cookie and put the rest, plus the digestives, in a processor and blitz into crumbs. (Or put in a freezer bag and bash with a rolling pin.)
2
Melt the butter in a pan over a low heat. Remove from the heat, add the crumbs and stir together well. Transfer to the tin and press firmly against the base and sides to form a flan case-type base. Chill for at least 20 mins.
3
If using coffee, dissolve in 1tsp boiling water. Let it cool.
4
Spread the caramel over the bottom of your biscuit base. Peel and slice the bananas, then mix gently 
with the lemon juice – this helps to stop them going brown. Arrange on top of the caramel in an even layer.
5
Lightly whip the cream, with the coffee mixture until it just holds its shape, then pile on the bananas, covering them completely.
6
Crumble the reserved coconut cookie and sprinkle over the top.
