The Best Banoffee Pie with Pecans

This dessert combines two of my all-time favourite things—bananas and caramel! But, let’s be honest, traditional banoffee pie can get a little too sweet. In this version, I’ve added pecans for some crunch and texture, plus a hint of coffee in the cream to introduce a subtle bitterness. It all balances the sweetness beautifully, creating a perfectly decadent dessert. The miso paste and salt add just the right touch of umami, while the fresh bananas and cream keep it light and irresistible!
