Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4.

2. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan and add the crushed digestive biscuits, stirring to coat them well.

3. Press the mixture into a 23cm shallow pie dish, covering the sides too.

4. Bake for 10 minutes, or until fragrant. Remove the dish from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3.

5. Put the banana slices on a sheet of kitchen foil and toss them with the muscovado sugar and spices, coating them all over.

6. Cover with another sheet of kitchen foil, place on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 15–20 minutes, or until mushy. Remove from the oven, but leave the oven turned on.

7. Put the eggs, coconut cream and rum into a bowl and beat well. Stir in the cooked bananas. Pour this mixture into the pie base and bake in the oven for 25–30 minutes, or until wobbly. Leave to cool completely in the dish.

8. Whip the cream, golden icing sugar and vanilla to form nice soft peaks. Pile high on top of the pie and sprinkle generously with the grated chocolate. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
