Where did banoffee come from?
Banoffee is a pie created in England in 1972 but quickly became loved almost worldwide. The name of this dessert comes from combining the words "banana" and "toffee." Instead of baking an entire pie, you can choose banoffee in a cup.
Banoffee in a jar consists of crumbled cookies, toffee spread, fresh bananas, and a creamy layer. This perfect combination will appeal to all your guests. Plus, it looks so appetizing that the cups will be empty before you know it.
