    No, milk doesn't have the fat content needed to whip, and it'll just thin out the cream and make a mess. Assuming it's just whipped cream for the topping, use what you have and spread it out a little thinner.

    I'm making my mam a banoffee too so I was thinking about this, and if possible.... Build your base up in height a little rather than spreading it out so you have what looks like a smaller banoffee but you'll have more depth? Im feeding 6 so I'm making a big one but if you don't have a big crowd you could try that...

    Make less base? Depending on how many you're making for, you could reduce the thickness of the biscuit and caramel to compensate...
