Description
This Banoffee Icebox Cake is a luscious no-bake dessert combining layers of creamy whipped cream, rich dulce de leche, ripe banana slices, and crunchy Biscoff cookies. Perfectly chilled overnight, the cookies soften to create a pudding-like texture topped with a sprinkle of dark chocolate for an indulgent finish.
Ingredients
Scale
Whipped Cream
- 600 mL heavy cream
- 2 tbsp icing sugar
Layers
- 380 g dulce de leche
- 4 medium bananas, sliced into rounds
- 250 g Biscoff cookies
Topping
- 25 g dark chocolate, for grating
Instructions
- Whip the cream: Pour the heavy cream into a bowl and add the icing sugar. Whisk continuously until you see stiff peaks form, indicating the cream is fully whipped. Transfer the whipped cream into a piping bag to make layering easier and more precise.
- Prepare dulce de leche: Fill a second piping bag with the dulce de leche. Using a piping bag will help you layer it neatly without mess.
- Slice bananas: Peel the bananas and cut them into thin round slices, ready to create even layers in the glass.
- Assemble the cake: Take your serving glasses and start by piping a thin layer of whipped cream at the bottom. Gently shake the glass side to side to spread the cream evenly. Place two Biscoff cookies on top of the cream layer; you may need to break them slightly to fit the glass.
- Add dulce de leche and banana: Pipe a thin layer of dulce de leche over the cookies, then add 5-6 banana slices evenly. Repeat this sequence—cream, cookies, dulce de leche, bananas—until you fill the glass, ending with a final layer of whipped cream on top.
- Chill: Cover each glass with plastic wrap and refrigerate them for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the cookies to soften and the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Serve: Just before serving, grate the dark chocolate over the top layer of cream to add a touch of bitterness and decoration. Enjoy your soft, creamy, and indulgent banoffee icebox cake!
