Melt the butter and add the crushed biscuits. Press the mixture into a cake tin.
For the filling - Melt the butter and sugar into a pan and melt over a low heat. Add the condensed milk and bring to the boil while stirring continuously. When it becomes caramel pour over the biscuit base. Leave to cool and then chill in the fridge for an hour.
For the topping - Whisk the double cream with some icing sugar until thick.Fold in the sliced banana and spoon on top of the caramel mixture.

This is very sweet, so you will need a good strong cuppa to wash it down!
