Banana Brulee Tart

Banana Brulee Tart tastes like a Creme Brulee and a Banana Split that were slammed together. I don’t know how else to describe it! You have a chocolate coconut crust, a creamy caramel vanilla center, and a top layer of brûlée banana slices. Crap, I just forgot what a smoothie was!

I was searching for banana recipe ideas when I came across Donna Hay’s ‘Chocolate Caramel Banana Brulee Slice’. Inspiration immediately takes over when you hear your stomach growling. To make things even more appealing, I already had the ingredients! Settled, I will make a Banana Brûlée Tart. It took a few minor adjustments and a bigger pan to create this interpretation of her recipe.

To develop a slightly different flavor profile I added buckwheat flour for a hint of nuttiness to the crust.  I replaced simple syrup in the filling with a mixture of molasses and honey. Plus added a bit of vanilla extract for smoothness. Hope you like it!!

Things You Need for Banana Brûlée Tart:

  • To make desiccated coconut, simply take shredded coconut and pulse a few times in a blender or food processor. The coconut will look like powdered snow.
  • You will need a large 11 inch circular tart pan.
  • A small kitchen torch to melt the sugar and brûlée the bananas.

Tips for Banana Brûlée Tart:

  • Line your tart pan with parchment paper.
  • Spoon the tart crust into the pan and using your fingertips, gently spread into a thin layer across the bottom and up into the sides.
  • Place tart pan on a cookie sheet to bake.
  • While tart crust is pre-baking make your filling.
  • If you’re not a fan of molasses, swap it out for maple syrup or more honey.
  • Stir filling with a wooden spoon and heat until butter is melted. Filling should be slightly thick and pourable.
  • Slowly pour filling into crust and carefully place into oven.
  • Let it bake 12-14 minutes until the there is a thin brown golden brown crust on filling. It may bubble some, thats ok.
  • The filling will still be soft, so carefully remove tart tray from oven. Let it cool about 15 minutes before placing in the fridge.
  • Leave in the fridge to set for 3 hrs or overnight.
  • Use slightly firm yellow bananas for the top layer. You can use browning ones, but they won’t hold their shape very well.
  • Sprinkle granulated sugar over the bananas and brûlée with torch until sugar turns golden brown.
  • Store tart in an air tight container in the fridge.
