BANOFFEE PIE

Originally an English invention, this is a friend’s old family recipe and is a refreshing alternative to the usual call for sweetened condensed milk.

I didn’t have rum, so substituted Bailey’s Irish Cream instead. I made a shortbread crust (www.joyofbaking.com) though it would be just as nice with a short-crust pastry or biscuit crumb/melted butter base.
