Steps

1 Done	Prepare the base Brush a 7 inch (18 cm) pie dish or removable bottom pan with little butter. In a food processor, take biscuits and walnut and pulse them until you get uniform crumbs. Then add rest of the melted butter and pulse again to mix well. Place the biscuit and nuts mixture into prepared pie dish and press them evenly with the back of a spoon. Keep the biscuit base in the refrigerator minimum 30 minutes.
2 Done	Prepare the toffee layer Take dulce de leche in a bowl, and add a pinch of salt and mix them well to loosen up without leaving and lumps. When the biscuit base set, spread the prepared dolce de leche on it evenly.
3 Done	For banana layer Cut the bananas into half inch thickness and layer them evenly on toffee layer. Keep it back to the refrigerator until chocolate mixture is ready.
4 Done	For the chocolate layer In a bowl take gelatin powder and water and mix them well and keep aside to bloom for about 5 to 8 minutes. Take chocolate chip and cream in a bowl and melt them by keeping on a double boiler (make sure the bowl you took chocolate doesn’t have any traces of water). Now melt the bloomed gelatin by keeping in a microwave oven for 30 second or on a double boiler. Add the melted gelatin to the chocolate mixture and keep them aside to warm. When the chocolate mixture is warm, slowly pour it on Banana layer. Keep them in refrigerator for about 2 hours or more to set.
5 Done	For Mascarpone topping In a bowl take whipping cream powder and half cup cold milk with vanilla extract and whip them until soft peak. Now add half cup of mascarpone cheese straight out of refrigerator and whip them until you get stiff peak. Pipe them or spread them on top of the chocolate layer. Decorate them as you prefer. Keep them refrigerator until ready to serve.
6 Done	Tips & Tricks You can substitute the nuts or completely avoid it as you prefer. If you want, only whipped cream can be used without mascarpone added to it. To make Dulce de leche yourself, Take a pressure cooker and keep unopened can of condensed milk in it. pour normal water just 1 inch above the condensed milk tin and close with pressure lid. Now when you get the 1st whistle, keep it in simmer cook for about 45 to 1 hour. If you don’t have pressure cooker, you could use deep bottom vessel as well. but you have to cook it for about 3 hours. (same way as pressure cooker – condensed milk tin unopened and submerge in the water). If you are making dulce de leche by your self, make sure you completely cool them before opening the lid.
