I did a cheat’s guide to banoffee pie a little while ago and people loved it. I loved it. It was so easy to make and you can serve them at a moment’s notice. So I decided to do a couple of cheat’s guides to desserts that are super tasty and impressive but take little to no prep at all.
These pies are particularly good in summer for a dinner party because they don’t take long to cook and can be served with ice cream and loads of sauces. My husband ate his with no sauce. He pushed almost an entire half into his mouth and seems satisfied so I think the verdict was positive.
These pies can also be changed up a little bit with different fillings. You could pop some chocolate spread and banana inside or go for a savoury option like cranberry sauce and brie. The world is your oyster with these pies. They are so versatile and the best part is that you don’t need to mess around with pastry. After all, no one is going to complain about store bought pastry. And if they do? They don’t deserve dessert anyway.
