Caramelized Banana Tart

Ingredients

Brown sugar

1/2 cup

Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon

Heavy cream

1/2 cup

Lemon juice

1 tablespoon

Ripe bananas

4

Egg yolks

2

Salt

1/4 teaspoon

Granulated sugar

1/4 cup

Unsalted butter

1/2 cup, cold and cubed

All-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups

Instructions

1. In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Pulse the mixture until it forms coarse crumbs.
2. Add the egg yolks to the food processor and pulse until the dough starts to come together.
3. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disk. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes until it's firm.
4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
5. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it's large enough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press it into the pan, trim any excess dough, and prick the bottom of the crust with a fork.
6. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, or until it's lightly golden.
7. Meanwhile, slice 2 of the bananas and toss them with the lemon juice to prevent them from browning.
8. In a separate bowl, mash the remaining 2 bananas. Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and brown sugar to the mashed bananas, mixing until well combined.
9. Spread the mashed banana mixture over the pre-baked crust, and arrange the lemon-soaked banana slices on top.
10. Bake the tart for 30 minutes more, until the filling is set and the bananas on top have caramelized. Let the tart cool before serving. Enjoy your delectable Caramelized Banana Tart!
