Method

  1. Line the base of a 21cm loose- bottomed tart tin (3½ cm deep) with nonstick baking paper. Blitz the biscuits in a food processor until they reach a fine crumb, mix with the melted butter and spoon into the tin. Use the back of a spoon to press the biscuits into the base and up the sides. Chill in the fridge for 30 mins.
  2. Lay the bananas on the base in an even layer. Spoon the caramel into a bowl, stir well until smooth, then pour evenly over the bananas, to the top of the biscuit case. Chill for 30 mins.
  3. Preheat the grill to high. Arrange the marshmallows on top, starting with an even layer all over, then pile up to 2 or 3 high in the centre (check how much room you have under the grill first). Grill for 15 secs, or until gooey and brown on top. Decorate with cake sparklers, if you like*.

Tip: Digestive biscuits can be used instead of the ginger nut biscuits, if preferred.
