We invite you to try making a dish from English cuisine, Easy Banoffee Pie. Banoffee is a creamy, indulgent English dessert.
Ingredients:
- 60 g low-fat margarine
- 10 pieces of low-fat biscuits (e.g. digestive biscuits)
- 25 g powdered gelatin
- 250 g plain quark (soft low-fat cottage cheese)
- 500 ml yogurt
- 1 tablespoon sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 egg whites
- 2 bananas
- 2 even teaspoons of cocoa powder (or melted chocolate), for decoration
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 190°C and line a 20 cm diameter baking tin with non-stick parchment paper. Melt the margarine in a non-stick saucepan over low heat.
- Meanwhile, place the biscuits in a resealable food bag, crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin, and transfer them to a bowl. Add the melted margarine, mix well, and press the mixture into the prepared tin, covering the base evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes, then set aside to cool.
- While the base is baking, dissolve the gelatin in 5 tablespoons of hot water.
- Place the quark (cottage cheese) in a bowl and whisk until smooth, then add the yogurt, sweetener, vanilla, and gelatin. Whisk together.
- Whisk the egg whites in a bowl until stiff peaks form, then gently fold them into the quark mixture.
- Spoon the quark mixture onto the cooled base and smooth the surface. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until set.
- Carefully remove the pie from the tin and place it on a serving plate. Slice the bananas thinly and arrange them on top, then sprinkle with cocoa powder or drizzle with melted chocolate. Cut into equal portions to serve.
Your Easy Banoffee Pie is ready. Enjoy!
