I would love to make this , can you use quark instead of ricotta?
Cheryl LloydSunday 4th February 2024
Yes, you could use quark if you prefer 😊
Tash StevensSunday 18th July 2021
Hi. This recipe looks amazing however as much as I love bananas I can’t stand coffee. Do I have to add the coffee or could I just miss it out?
HollyMonday 26th July 2021
Hey Tash, you could omit the coffee if you aren’t a fan you just might find that the sponge fingers are less soft but it will still be tasty! We also have this recipe for a Banana Cream Pudding which you might like too!
Lesley RobinsonMonday 10th May 2021
Made this at the weekend, it was really good. I substituted the ricotta for philadelphia light and just used a chocolate sauce as I didnt have caramel sauce. Went down well with my guests.
I am thinking of trying to do something similar with strawberries and using sugar free jam instead of the coffee.
HollyMonday 10th May 2021
Hey Lesley, we are so glad to hear you enjoyed this Banoffee Tiramisu your strawberry idea sounds tasty!
Paul RogersMonday 10th May 2021
Hi I’m struggling with the Chocolate and Caramel ingredients for this desert. I’m also a bloke who thought he knew he way around ASDA.
Can you give me some brand names to look for for both of these items please?
Many thanks
HollyMonday 10th May 2021
Hey Paul, we use Clark’s Reduced Sugar Caramel Dessert Topping and Choc Shot for this recipe which are available in most supermarkets. Hope that helps!
