Baileys Chocolate Banana Pie aka Choconana Pie
A truly decadent dessert for those long dark winter nights. This Baileys chocolate banana pie has a dark chocolate biscuit base which is covered in thinly sliced bananas. On top of this goes a mixture of yogurt and cream with a dash of Baileys.
On New Year’s Day, we were off to visit friends for a feast by the fire. Something special was required. I had some bananas that needed using up and some odds and ends of chocolate that I wanted to finish off. I also had two 180ml pots of Baileys Extra Thick Cream I’d been sent in order to try out in a recipe. So my Baileys Choconana Pie was born.
Bailey’s Chocolate Banana Pie
The Baileys cream is fresh cream, but with a few additional ingredients. I was expecting Baileys but was a little surprised at the addition of sugar and starch. I would have thought the Baileys would be enough of a sweetener on its own. However, as it was already thick, it was easy to use with no need for whipping.
It tasted as I expected: sweet cream with a hefty dose of Baileys – decidedly moreish. Baileys cream makes an excellent accompaniment to many a festive pud or mince pie, but it’s also good as an ingredient in its own right. It’s not difficult to make your own though. Just whip up some cream with a dash of Baileys. Job done. If you feel it needs sweetening up, just add a spoonful or two of sugar before you start whipping.
The pie was of course indulgent and delicious. But really this is exactly what we need to celebrate the New Year.
If you’re keen on the odd drop of Baileys, here’s another indulgent dessert you might like. It’s this easy Baileys marbled chocolate ice cream with Baileys chocolate sauce.

Baileys Chocolate Banana Pie – The Recipe
Bailey’s Chocolate Banana Pie
Ingredients
- 8 oz digestive biscuits
- 2 oz unsalted butter
- 100 g dark chocolate (plus a little extra for grating)
- 360 ml Baileys extra thick cream or use extra thick cream with a slug or two of Baileys stirred into it.
- 360 ml Greek yoghurt
- 2 bananas
Instructions
- Melt the butter and chocolate over a low heat.
- Bash the digestive biscuits until crumbed (I do mine in a bowl with the end of a rolling pin).
- Combine the chocolate and biscuit mixture by stirring well and pour into a 9″ flan or shallow pie dish. Press down firmly with the back of a spoon to line the dish both bottom and sides. Place in the fridge to set for 30 minutes or so.
- Slice the bananas thinly and lay over the chocolate base to cover.
- Stir the cream and yogurt together and spoon over the bananas.
- Grate a little dark chocolate over the top to decorate.

As I had rather a lot of bananas that needed using up and this was also a good excuse to tidy up up my chocolate shelf, I am submitting this pie to Elizabeth’s Kitchen Diary for her No Waste Food Challenge.
This Baileys chocolate banana pie made us all very happy. So I’m entering it into Calendar Cakes over at Dolly Bakes where the theme is If it makes you happy …
I was sent two pots of Baileys Cream to use in a recipe. There was no requirement to write a positive review. As always, all opinions are my own.
oooh this looks really good, love a bit of baileys!
I am always going to be a lover of banoffee pie but this looks amazing! A brilliant twist on a perfect classic! Lovely dessert! xxx
Oh my days, I am already a massive fan of this baileys cream with mince pies at xmas. My favourite dessert is my dad’s baileys and banana bread and butter pudding which uses chocolate brioche so this sounds right up my street…MUST try it!
This looks amazing – I LOVE chocolate and banana together – and to add Baileys, that is pure genius!! I am definitely going to attempt to make one of these 🙂
I do love a good banana pie and this looks heavenly! The Baileys cream sounds lush too.
Totally and utterly delicious!
I would never drink Baileys but adore it in any baked or chilled dessert. This looks like heaven!
Baileys AND chocolate AND pie!
Ooh this sounds really good! I expect the starch was added as a thickener, maybe the sugar to take away some of the bite from the Bailey’s?
Oh wow – just about all of my favourite ingredients in one dish. All the best for 2014.
I say that’s not only frugal, but inspired! Good job ‘using up’ and ‘making do’ !!!! I’d happily sit by the fire with you and your friends and have a slice of this cool treat!
Oh yum! One of my favourite puddings as a child was sliced bananas with sour cream and brown sugar – I can just imagine that with a nip of Baileys and some chocolate!
That looks pretty amazing. One of those recipes that sadly even with all the soya milk in the world, is not quite going to taste the same made dairy free 🙁 So I am just imagining it longingly!!!!
I love Bailey’s cream – it’s so delicious and I bet it makes a fantastic topping for your lovely chocolatey pie! A great way to use up bananas too. Thanks for sharing with the No Waste Food Challenge!
Looks gorgeous, the filling looks massive!!! Happy new year xx
