Banoffee pie, a delightful concoction of bananas, cream, and toffee, was invented in East Sussex, England in 1972 at The Hungry Monk restaurant. The restaurant’s owner, Ian Dowding, and the chef, Nigel Mackenzie, were trying to improve an unreliable American recipe for Blum’s Coffee Toffee Pie. They substituted a caramel boiled from a can of condensed milk after finding that the pie stayed firm and created a beautiful layer. Not stopping there, they added fresh bananas and whipped cream, sparking the creation of the beloved Banoffee pie. They initially named it 'Banoffi', a portmanteau of banana and toffee, and it was such a hit that it made the restaurant famous. Today, it remains a beloved dessert in Britain and has found fans worldwide.
