Banoffee Pie

Banoffee Pie is one of the easiest and quickest dessert i have ever made. It just took me 20 minutes maximum . This dessert had 4 layers starting from the crust , toffee , chopped banana , topped with whipped cream and garnished with Roasted Walnuts. Usually Crust is made of digestive biscuits but i made it with plain cornflakes . Trust me it tasted good.
