Summer Recipe For Kids – Banoffee Pie

By Sukriti Tolani

Let’s start with the name. Banoffe Pie was invented in East Sussex, England in the early 70s. Despite its divine taste, Banoffee Pie is a very easy summer recipe for kids. I mean it won’t take you longer than 30 minutes to throw it together. Intrigued?

What I am sharing today is an easy Banoffee pie. A pie that requires no baking or cooking. That is right, this recipe is mostly assembling. This summer recipe for kids tastes like heaven! 

 

 

This recipe replaces a traditional Banoffee pie with the goodness of ragi and added nutritional benefits of jaggery. The gorgeous buttery ragi cookie crust adds a delicious crunch and calcium in the ragi gives an extra boost of energy to the kids. Our very own version of the jaggery caramel is a lip-smacking sweetening alternative and an iron supplement for growing kids. The freshness of bananas and whipped cream makes you keep going back for more, allowing all the layers to sing on your palate and make your kids go bananas over this dessert!

Treat loved ones to a banoffee pie for dessert featuring a classic biscuit base, bananas, jaggery, and cream. Who could resist?
