Banoffee reinvented: The ultimate no‑bake dessert in a jar
A layered dessert in a glass is a tried-and-true way to impress your guests. It's easy to prepare and looks and tastes so good that everyone will want to shower you with praise.
Banoffee in a jar is a dessert that combines the sweetness of bananas, the caramel flavour of toffee spread, and the crunchiness of cookies. It's a modern take on the classic banoffee pie. In this case, you don't have to bake anything—just layer the ingredients in a tall glass or jar to create a delicious dessert.
Where did banoffee come from?
Banoffee is a pie created in England in 1972, but it quickly became loved almost worldwide. The name of this dessert comes from combining the words "banana" and "toffee". Instead of baking an entire pie, you can opt for banoffee in a cup.
Banoffee in a jar consists of layers of crumbled cookies, toffee spread, fresh bananas, and a creamy layer. This perfect combination will appeal to all your guests. Plus, it looks so appetizing that before you know it, the jars will be empty.
