1. To make the base, blitz the biscuits in a food processor until they are like fine crumbs and then combine with the melted butter.
2. Using the back of a teaspoon, press the mixture into the base and sides of the tins. Chill for about 20 minutes.
3. Divide the caramel between the bases.
4. Remove the pies from the tins. Slice the bananas, reserve six for the top and fold the rest into the softly whipped cream.
5. Spoon the mixture over the caramel, decorate with a banana slice and dust with the cocoa.
