Banoffee in a jar: Delightful dessert with no‑bake ease
A layered dessert in a glass is a tried-and-true way to impress your guests. It's remarkably easy to prepare, and it looks and tastes so delicious that everyone will want to shower you with praise.
Banoffee in a jar is a dessert that combines the sweetness of bananas, the rich caramel flavour of toffee spread, and the crunchiness of biscuits. It's a modern twist on the classic banoffee pie. In this version, you don't need to bake anything—simply layer the ingredients in a tall glass or jar to create a delightful dessert.
Where did banoffee come from?
Banoffee is a pie that was created in England in 1972, and it quickly gained popularity nearly worldwide. The name of this dessert comes from combining the words "banana" and "toffee". Instead of baking a whole pie, you can opt for banoffee in a cup.
Banoffee in a jar consists of layers of crumbled biscuits, toffee spread, fresh bananas, and a creamy layer. This perfect combination will appeal to all your guests. Plus, it looks so inviting that before you know it, the glasses will be empty.
