BANANA TARTE TATIN



Banana tarte tatin image

Caramel, bananas and buttery pastry work beautifully in this pretty dessert, serve with an indulgent dollop of rum spiced cream

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

100g golden caster sugar
75g butter , cut into cubes
4-5 firm bananas
pinch of sea salt
1 orange , zested
500g pack ready-rolled all-butter puff pastry
200ml double cream
1 tbsp icing sugar
1 tbsp dark rum
1 tsp cinnamon

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Melt the sugar and butter together on a low heat without stirring the mixture. Once the sugar has melted, turn up the heat and bubble until it turns a deep caramel colour. If the butter separates from the caramel, take the pan off the heat and add 1 tbsp of warm water, stirring until the butter emulsifies again.
  • Pour the caramel into a 23cm cake tin with a solid base and spread the caramel out quickly with the back of a warm spoon. Slice the bananas into 2cm-thick pieces and arrange them, cut-side down, in concentric circles in the tin, then sprinkle over a pinch of sea salt and half the orange zest.
  • Cut the pastry into a circle 3cm larger than the tin. Lay the pastry on top of the bananas and tuck the edges down inside the tin. Bake in the oven for 25-30 mins until the pastry is risen and cooked through. Whisk the double cream with the icing sugar until soft peaks form. Add the rum, cinnamon and remaining orange zest, and whisk until just combined.
  • Leave the tart to cool in the tin for 5 mins, then carefully turn the tart out onto a large plate, wearing oven gloves in case the hot caramel splashes. Serve with the cream.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: Ripen bananas are sweeter and have a more intense flavor. They also hold their shape better when baked.
  • Use a variety of spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices to add flavor to your gratin. Common spices that pair well with bananas include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cardamom.
  • Add a crunchy topping: A crunchy topping, such as chopped nuts, granola, or streusel, adds texture and flavor to the gratin. It also helps to absorb the juices from the bananas.
  • Serve warm: Banana gratin is best served warm, right out of the oven. You can also make it ahead of time and reheat it before serving.

Conclusion:

Banana gratin is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its sweet and creamy flavor, banana gratin is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
