Recipe: Banoffee Bites

Banoffee pie is a firm favourite around the world, but the flavour combination works in loads of different ways. We've stuck banana and toffee into filo parcels that you could almost mistake for wontons! They're a cool little snack or a great dessert if people just want to pick at the end of a meal.
Ingredients
- 1 pinch cinnamon
- 1 shot rum
- 1 tin condensed milk
- 1 handful almond flakes
- 50 g butter
- 150 ml double cream
- 4 sheets filo pastry
- 2 bananas

Step 1
Boil The Condensed Milk
Boil a saucepan of water and add the unopened tin of condensed milk so that it is submerged. Simmer for 4 hours, until the milk has turned to caramel.

Step 2
Fry The Bananas
Dice the bananas into small cubes. Heat a knob of butter to a pan, add the bananas and cinnamon, then fry for a minute. Splash in the rum and cook further until the rum has gone.

Step 3
Coat Bananas With Caramel
Open the tin of caramel and pour enough into the bananas to just coat.

Step 4
Toast The Almonds
Toast the almond flakes in a dry frying pan then roughly chop.

Step 5
Lay Out The Pastry
Lay out the filo pastry and cut out 10cm x 10cm squares. Spoon a tablespoon of the banana mixture into the middle of each square and scatter over some of the flaked almonds.

Step 6
Wrap Them Up
Melt the butter in the microwave and brush the pastry before wrapping tightly around the banana, similar to wontons.

Step 7
Preheat The Oven
Preheat an oven to 200ºC.

Step 8
Bake The Parcels
Bake the filo parcels on a lined baking tray for 10 minutes until golden brown.

Step 9
Serve With Cream
Serve with a glug double cream and the leftover caramel as dips. Serves 4
