Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

For phyllo cups
9 phyllo pastry sheets (each about 17x13 inches), stacked and halved crosswise, forming eighteen 8 1/2x13-inch rectangles
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
8 tablespoons (about) sugar
For vanilla pastry cream
1/2 cup sugar
3 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups whole milk
4 large egg yolks
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
3 large firm but ripe bananas, peeled, sliced thinly on diagonal
Additional sugar
Chocolate sorbet

Steps:

  • Make phyllo cups:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously butter every other cup in 12-cup muffin pan. Place 1 phyllo rectangle on work surface; cover remaining phyllo with damp cloth to prevent drying. Brush rectangle with melted butter; sprinkle with 1/2 tablespoon sugar. Place second phyllo rectangle atop first; brush with butter and sprinkle with 1/2 tablespoon sugar. Repeat 3 more times; top with 1 more rectangle and brush with butter, making stack of 6 rectangles. Using small sharp knife and 6-inch-diameter plate as guide, cut out two 6-inch round stacks. Press each stack into 1 buttered muffin cup. Repeat entire procedure 2 more times, making 4 more phyllo cups (6 total). Bake cups until golden and crisp, about 15 minutes. Carefully lift cups, twisting slightly to loosen; place on rack. Cool completely. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.)
  • Make pastry cream:
  • Whisk 1/2 cup sugar and cornstarch in heavy medium saucepan to blend. Gradually whisk in milk, then yolks. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Whisk over medium heat until pastry cream thickens and boils, about 6 minutes. Strain pastry cream into small bowl; press plastic wrap directly onto surface. Chill until cold, at least 3 hours and up to 2 days.
  • Preheat broiler. Place phyllo cups on small baking sheet. Spoon 1/3 cup pastry cream into each cup. Overlap 5 or 6 banana slices atop pastry cream in each cup. Sprinkle bananas with additional sugar. Broil pastries until sugar topping caramelizes, turning sheet for even browning, about 2 minutes. Transfer cups to plates. Scoop sorbet alongside.

These phyllo cups are a great way to use up ripe bananas. I love that I can make them ahead of time and just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to serve them.

I followed the recipe exactly and the phyllo cups turned out perfectly. The caramelized bananas were a little too sweet for my taste, but the vanilla cream helped to balance it out. Overall, I really enjoyed this recipe.
