BANOFFEE PIE : SEPTEMBER PIES S2 E7

I just saw Daniel's instapost. Congrats on your first child to be engaged. That must be such a joy.

Not a fan of you using the music over your video. So often I am listening to your video and watching with one eye on it and this music overlay makes it impossible. Much rather HEAR YOU! Just letting you know

[@sallyjroper]

Here in the UK, we say banoffee like it rhymes with toffee (buh-noffee.) The best way to make the toffee is to boil the condensed milk in the tin for three hours- it makes a set toffee that isn’t chewy but also isn’t runny. It looks like you made fudge - which isn’t easy so well done 😂 I am REALLY loving this series. Thanks Megan 😊

[@windy42305]

“The people want to hear from Pearl now,”. 😂😂😂 I do love her reactions!!! 😊

[@brettelizabethspore]

I like how you shared what you thought was a mistake in process, and that you didn’t give up. You finished what you started and then also tried again. Your kids are great at distinguishing flavors and textures in their food.

[@beckybox2596]

Love to watch Pearl find delight in your pies. She is enjoying the month of September ❤

[@windy42305]

💯 😂🎉😊

[@TheTuesday11]

Thank you for showing it doesn’t always turn out like we planned, especially the first time. 💕

[@kalenclark]

I love when you show mistakes and mishaps!!! As a baker, it makes me happy. It's reality!

[@Sakrysta]

One of my favorite things about this series is the music. Just so lovely and refreshing. 🥰

[@mshockey73]

Megan, the willpower it must take not to 'taste test' your beautiful pies. I don't know if I could be disiplined enough to do it. Also, the filming and editing is so well done. Watching these videos has been very enjoyable. I'm going to pick a favorite when the month is over and make that pie for our Thanksgiving dinner:)

[@vickitollemache5000]

This is my personal favorite pie of all time. I was introduced to it in England in the early 2000’s, and your homemade one looked more the consistency of the ones I ate there. Also, you’re pronouncing it right..generally the first time banoffee is just the first part of banana and the last part of toffee.

[@sunshining_inthe_hebrides4030]

You got it right the first time Banoffee! Everyone loves Banoffee Pie and the good old Ginger Nut makes a fab crust… your mixture hit fudge with the boiling ..

[@hollyoberhansly2303]

This video is a perfect demonstration of why I hate candy thermometers. 😂 The pies look delicious!

[@nicolepalachicky8033]

I think that you would produce the best pie cook books. It would combine your love of books, illustration, family meal sharing, stories, etc. Recipes from The Pie-brary with Megan Knorpp.

[@chaman004]

If you do September pies again, I think it would be reaaaaally interesting to do one from a different country every day! Like a little pie tour of the world

[@bonnielerner9648]

I love how Mike always closes his eyes when he takes his first bite!!

[@CassieDavis613]

This series is such a winner. You all have done a professional and top-notch production.

[@karynmchenry4977]

I think I need a friend who likes to make pie! What a fun tradition that your kids will remember forever. I was reading an email from my nephew - currently serving a mission in South Africa - and he was writing about going on splits with an Elder Knorpp. He had only great things to say about Elder Knorpp. I told my nephew I thought I recognized that name and realized it was from this channel. Just thought you would like to hear that your kids are doing great things and making an impact for good wherever they go. All those years of focusing on your family are well worth it. Love your channel. It’s helped me to be a better parent. ❤️

[@margaretbedwell3211]

What a lovely tribute, all the way from South Africa. I know Megan and Mike are so pleased to hear that.

[@KnorppandSouth11]

This made me so happy! Thank you!

[@kimturano8786]

Your children are just the best! Eve’s response brought me such joy! ❤

[@kelliestephens8743]

Absolutely love these videos - love how you filmed it - love the music - love the reactions! Pearl is a hoot! Beauty and wit!

[@strawberriyoung3163]

The timing of the music when you point at the darker part of the banana! 😂. Perfect! Gorgeous pies I am finally trying out your pie crust for our chicken pot pie tonight!

[@easily-made9910]

Loving the pie series. A couple of other classic British pies you should try are a cornish pasty. A pastry crust filled with beef, onions and swede. The other is a Bakewell tart. Pastry crust, raspberry jam, and ftangipan.

[@heidiclarke2333]

As a Brit I don't bake the biscuit base or add sugar just biscuits and butter and chill in the fridge. But your right about the biscoffe biscuits they cut through the sweetness.

[@lisahayward5950]

Same here in New Zealand we don’t bake the crust or add sugar to it!

[@catherinebarlow3079]

Am in UK as well never cook base just set in fridge to go hard then make rest of it up

[@joanngrundyson3265]

Love the Sept. pie series.............

[@gigieyre]

This looks absolutely decadently delicious!!! My favorite cookie ever is a Biscoff! Yum Yum!!

[@deedeeslife]

Oh my goodness I love Pearl. She is just so comfortable and relaxed and she is beautiful.

[@notes4missy]

I’m late to the pie-rty, but it was the perfect treat after a hot but good day at my art show! Way to go, Megan! The first week of pies has been a smashing hit!

[@elizabethtullis2868]

Delicious! Gotta try this one!😍

[@DesignGuy17]

The first pie is how banoffee pie usually looks to me :)

[@lelanoel3499]

Everytime I see Mike without his beard, I'm just shocked at how many years younger he looks.

[@InkLeadPaperThread]

Oh, yay! I was hoping you’d do a banoffee pie! I’ve always wanted to try this ever since I saw the movie Love Actually! In that movie, Juliet (Kiera Knightly) visits Mark to see the video he took at her wedding, and she tries to "bribe" him to show the video by offering him banoffee pie! Also, Megan: I am absolutely LOVING your white outfits and new aprons! (You do look the part of a pie maiden; so adorable.) And you have been looking especially lovely lately! (Your hair and the sweet braids are so pretty!)

[@EmilyBoltz]

I love Pearl’s review - she is so funny! ❤

[@katherinehigham347]

As a Brit who loves banoffee and make it myself,I will say never use shop bought it’s just awful. Yours was by far the best, im sure was the better one and looked soo good. You did a good job 😊

[@KnorppandSouth11]

Wow, thanks!

[@DiligentProsperous]

I like your videos when you’re talking as your cooking verses the music playing. Just my preference I guess.. 😊

[@sarahssunnysideofthemounta2154]

The store bought dolce de leite comes in a can. It is also spreadable. The runny one is put on vanilla cookie or ice cream. The can will work well in a pie. Looke great, though.

[@keriezy]

Very much agreed... she bought the wrong one... but she tried!

[@WhiskersCraftyCorner]

Exactly! The right one would be a canned Dulce de leche. She used the ice cream topping version.

[@joannebrown7033]

I'm not sure what others pies you have planned, but I have a couple of ideas for you. Firstly, Manchester tart. It's an old classic that we had for dessert for school dinners here in the north of England. The second is Yorkshire curd tart. It's more tricky but you are good at doing tricky recipes! I think you'd enjoy the challenge. Loving all the pies you've made so far!

[@catherinebarlow3079]

Love both banoffee and Manchester pie all time favourite but best favourite it's concrete pie with mint custard all it is shortbread with coco mixed with it

[@Christine-xh5og]

Yay! You finally made one of my favorite pies to make. I agree with the other suggestions to boil the condensed milk in the can. Or I’ve even heard you could slow cook a few cans at a time! (Set it and forget it!🎉) The taste is rich, nutty, caramel-ly… and the consistency comes out thick too. The premade dolce the leche is quite runny I find. Boiled in cans are best imo. Hope you give it another try!❤ LOVE September pies!

[@evelinevandenberg8940]

In the Netherlands we have a sweet pie variety that is called a vlaai. It's traditional for the south and it's a semi soft base filled with cherries or apricot or applecrumble or rice pudding or buttercream. There is lots of different flavours! Also....we call a cows dung a koeien(cow)vlaai 😂 basically a cow-pie.

[@ariyasama15]

I'm from Belgium where the biscoff cookies originate from. We call them speculoos. The cookie butter was an invention presented at a tv competition for all sorts of inventions. It was a mom who invented the cookie butter recipe so that her little girls could have it as a spread. She reminds me a bit of you ! Since long people also use the biscuits in a simple vanilla pudding, layered cookies and vanilla and chocolate sprinkles on top.

[@phyllispartonmarks8912]

Coconut Custard Pie...they all have looked delicious!

[@cathycobb5381]

Thank you for doing all these pies

[@marieholzwasser9224]

Oh my gosh...such beautiful pies!!

[@tms6884]

I love this pie series! Something about it is so comforting. Maybe it's just the daily dose of Knorpps. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Either way...I'm digging it. Thanks for the effort in sharing these with us! ❤

[@elizabethtaylor4448]

So interesting to see ingredients & how they differ in countries. I made a biscoff cheesecake at Christmas & had to unwrap a million single portions of biscoff biscuits as I couldn't get them wrapped unwrapped. Also our dolce delece we can buy in a can & it's thick just like yours was. You just warm it up a bit & it will pour. Haven't had Banoffee pie in a long time. Yummy although my fat club leader won't think so 😊 forgot to say I'm in the UK.x

[@PamelaMccord-v9r]

There are many types of caramel. What Megan made was a fudge-like Dulce de Leche, which is eaten in squares as a candy. What Megan bought and used was a sauce-like Dulce de Leche in a squeeze bottle…. There is an in-between consistency that is thick and spreadable. It is spoon-able. I live in Brazil where Dulce de Leche is called Doce de Leite. It is very popular in its various forms. Squeezable, spreadable and fudge-like. For Banoffee we always use spreadable/spoonable.

[@Poketfullofvintage]

Love the sharing of September pies… thanks for inspiration made it today and yes yours is better I do what you do it doesn’t take long read just about 2min on the boil is all you need…

[@Artari]

Your home made one looks great , sorry it gave you so much trouble. Lovin' the series ❤ Megan I could watch your videos everyday

[@lindao1327]

I use digestive biscuits. I’m not keen on the flavour of biscoffe. I don’t bake but freeze the base anything with banana though...yum! Peter is funny! Pearl is a gem!

[@Hugadognow]

Yes! This was my suggestion before, and I really miss this pie.

[@catherinebarlow3079]

I suggest as well

[@yvonnemanchester70]

Coconut Custard, Mincemeat, Key Lime, Italian Meat pie, Ricotta pie

[@Ashlee1985]

Y'all can definitely keep a secret! Congrats to Daniel!

[@victoriahayes-kerridge9436]

We put the banana in the base first before the toffee and then the cream. Yours looked so yummy though xx

[@lisahayward5950]

Us too here in NZ, looks so good though! Yummm

[@rawlyroo5975]

I love these videos thank you for sharing

[@abeerali7834]

Been using Biscoff as a base crust for layered deserts with only butter and maybe a splash of milk for bonding if needed. The dolce consistency, it’s best if you go by feel, no thermometer needed. I know people why drink condensed milk right out of the can 😅 Kids are the best judges. Glad Eve too got to try this one 😊

[@loriwiens6618]

TIP: to make caramel/ dolce de leche you can boil a sealed can of sweetened condensed milk .

[@Christine-xh5og]

Yes!! This is what I do every time I make it. Works out great and tastes amazing!!

[@margaretbedwell3211]

If the can is sealed, how do you know it has boiled...or boiled long enough?. I have never done that.

[@hayleycharles997]

@@Christine-xh5og How long do you boil it in the can?

[@Christine-xh5og]

@@hayleycharles997 at least 3 hours with enough water to cover the can, on low boil. More if you want to have deeper caramel taste. Olga in the Kitchen has great directions on how to do it. I’ve heard you can also put the cans (no labels) in slow cooker with hot water for 8 hours on low. (I haven’t tried that but I will next time 😊)

[@Christine-xh5og]

@@margaretbedwell3211 three hours on low boil works for me every time…make sure there is enough water to cover the can ☺️

[@daatexas]

I never heard of banoffee pie, but I get it now-Banana & toffee in a pie! Also I’m enjoying hearing the kids opinion…especially Pearl who used to shy away from the camera and talking! ❤️ Dulce de leche is a Spanish term so you say it like this… “Dool-say day lay-chay” 😊

[@katiehill629]

If you like plums, you should try a plum tatin! It’s like the classic apple tarte tatin but made with halved plums instead. Bake it in a cast iron with store bought or homemade puff pastry. :) 🥧

[@susananderson8995]

Crumbl cookie has a Banoffee Pie cookie this week. If not for your video, I would not have a clue what they were selling. Looks delicious.

[@gilliancook4072]

They both look nice I think the first pie my choice x

banoffee pie with condensed milk is the best ...( im from the uk ) :)

[@ruthrice3498]

I love a Banoffi pie and i prefer biscuit (cookie ) base i also like a Cadbury flake crumbled on the cream ❤

[@valescawall2330]

My family's absolute favorite one is a Grasshopper Pie (aka chocolate mint). I started out making it on Thanksgiving but it has expanded to other days of the year.

[@cathykillion6544]

Enjoyed the video 😊

[@margaretimukuka3326]

[@eBookHoarder]

The homemade homemade pie gave me anxiety while you were making it, but I immediately knew it was the one I wanted.

[@COEXIST-ny4db]

Megan.... I think it'd be really great for you to make "Water Pie" from during the great depression! I'd LOVE to see what the kids think of it! I've never tried it, only seen it made on KZbin!!

[@SimplyEnjoyingLife]

Well this sounds delicious! Love to hear everyone’s feedback too.😊

[@rawlyroo5975]

I don't add sugar to the Cream and it's usually a beautiful peaked texture. Digestive biscuits make a stronger crust and I never add sugar to the biscuits as they are loaded with sugar

[@kristyandz]

Looks delish

[@sky02148]

You've probably never heard of rappie pie, but I know your family would love it. It's like a dinner pie, not a dessert. I wish you would try it so others can see it I know not many people know of it. I wish you would take my suggestion. If not this year next year. Thanks for sharing, love yah Nancy

There are different kinds of dulce de leche. That one is runny, but here in Argentina there is dulce de leche "repostero" (for baking) which is harder. 😊

[@TheRindyrae]

Looked so tasty.

[@LivingInTheShade]

Born and raised in the UK and I've never eaten banoffe pie even though I like bananas and I like toffee. I think you should try Queen if puddings an old British classic.

[@kathleenvanzyl]

The pies you’ve done on the season 2 are really wonderful and as a UK resident I love Banoffee pie… But as a South African there is NO better pie then “Melk Tert” (Milk Tart) Give it a go…

[@KnorppandSouth11]

It's on the list! Any specific recipe you could recommend?

So yummy!

You should make a September pie poster with all your completed pies ( Lies from Season 1 & 2!) I would buy it! They would be so pretty in a frame on a wall.

[@tanyadekock9982]

Or a pie T-shirt!

[@annem6722]

I've made banoffee pie a couple of times but I've never thought to try biscoffs instead of digestives in the crust - I must try that sometime as biscoff biscuits are delicious!! In terms of getting the caramel/toffee/dulce-de-leche be the right consistency, the only way I've done it is using a tin of Carnation Caramel and I would say that's somewhere between the consistencies of your two caramels. Carnation are one of the big condensed milk manufacturers in the UK - I don't know if they're in America too - but I think their 'caramel' is probably the same as what you get by boiling a can of condensed milk. Also, I don't know if it would technically be a pie, but if you love biscoff you must try making a biscoff cheesecake - the crust is just like what you used there, and then a cheesecake top made from biscoff spread, cream, cream cheese, sugar, vanilla!

[@Chelseaannexo]

Love a banoffee pie! (Ban like van- off-ee) I don’t bake the biscuit base like another person commented. Just the biscuit with butter and set in the fridge. I also use a brand called carnation for my dulce de leche and it is a “pudding” consistency. I’m English which you can probably tell from my use of biscuit and not fully sure on the pudding hence the quotation marks 😂

[@mariacasella6474]

Wow!!amazing

[@MaryKamp]

Pearl is great!

[@joyindrelie6715]

Maybe for one day you could try to find a really good fruit pie that doesn't use grains or added sugar for those of us who are trying to avoid those kinds of things. I know it's just not the same, but I'd be curious to see what the most delicious fruit pie could be like that my husband and I could eat during our "clean" months.

[@nathondrake8830]

Pearl is adorable.

[@larrygizinski9378]

I would like the peach pie, that would be my #1

[@Mama4d8]

Looks delicious. Was that a candy thermometer? Looked like for meat.

[@Leslie_AvalonAcresFarm]

I wonder if you needed to cook the dulce de leche for a bit to get it up to the proper candy temp???

[@CassieDavis613]

Pearl, I always wait for your reaction. You would be a great food/restaurant critic.

[@SamanthaLeigh-k3o]

Pie suggestions. Cookies and cream pie and also a vegetable pie with a variety of different vegetables.

[@joellenlewis3779]

I don’t like raisins but I like my mom’s Raisin Cream Pie

[@lynnecurtis3630]

Try putting the biscuit base into the fridge to set instead of baking, it makes a lovely moist base that holds up well to cutting. X

Banana + toffee = ban-offee
