Nigel Mackenzie and Ian Dowding are the creators of the dessert Banoffee Pie which gets its name from containing both bananas and coffee. The pie consists of bananas, caramel, whipped cream, butter, biscuits, and of course coffee.

Credit for the pie's invention is claimed by Nigel Mackenzie and Ian Dowding, the owner and chef respectively of the former Hungry Monk Restaurant in Jevington, East Sussex, England. They claim to have created the dessert in 1971, basing it on a San Francisco recipe for "Blum's Coffee Toffee Pie", which used milk jam, a soft toffee made by boiling an unopened can of condensed milk for several hours.
