Questions

Can I make Banoffee Pie dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted, 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled. Swap the butter for olive oil where it melts, or a plant-based block butter where it is creamed; the cream for full-fat coconut milk or an oat cooking cream. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Can I make Banoffee Pie gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 2 cups digestive biscuits, crushed. Swap the bread or crumbs for a gluten-free loaf or gluten-free panko. Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Banoffee Pie keep?

Keep it covered in the refrigerator and eat it within three days.

Can I halve or double Banoffee Pie?

Yes. As written it serves 8. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. There is no cooking pitfall here; the quantities simply scale.
