Step-by-step method

At a glance

You're assembling a charming layered dessert by stacking biscuits with a creamy curd cheese filling around a banana, then folding it into a roof shape and topping it with chocolate. The trickiest part is spreading the cream on the first biscuit layer (they'll want to slide around!), but once the second layer locks in place, the rest becomes much easier. Most of the time goes into chilling — ideally overnight — so plan ahead for this nostalgic treat.

Make the curd cheese cream

Tip the curd cheese into a bowl and mix in sugar to taste along with the vanilla extract. Line a baking tray with foil.

Arrange the biscuits

Lay the bebe biscuits out on the foil. Arrange three in a row, on their side — you'll have two left over. Alternate them dark, light, dark and so on.

Spread on the cream

Spread half of the cream over the biscuits. This part is a bit of a nightmare — the biscuits will slide around everywhere, so just be patient…

4/7

Add the second layer, reversed

Arrange a second row of biscuits on top of the cream, in the opposite order to the first row — light biscuit over dark, and dark over light.
5/7

Spread on more cream and add the banana

Spread over the remaining half of the cream. This layer is easier to work with, as the biscuits are now stuck to the cream underneath and won't slide around as much. Place a peeled banana down the middle.

Carefully fold into a roof shape

Now shape it into a roof: gently lift the sides up along the banana and press them together against it.
7/7

Pour over the chocolate

Melt the chocolate with the butter in a saucepan — no need for a water bath. Pour this mixture over the roof. Chill in the fridge, ideally until the next day.

About this recipe

This dessert is probably familiar to just about everyone. But do you actually have a recipe for it? I remember this "roof" from way back when I was a kid — it used to turn up at all sorts of get-togethers. So once I was grown up, back in 2012, I finally gave it a go myself. More footage straight from my kitchen archives.
