Ingredients of CHOCOLATE BANANA CARAMEL TART
For the Crust
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (you can use chocolate graham crackers or chocolate digestive biscuits)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
For the Caramel Layer
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For the Chocolate Ganache
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
For Assembly
- 3-4 ripe bananas, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, and sugar for the crust. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a tart pan with a removable bottom.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
- For the caramel layer, place the sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly with a heat-resistant spatula until the sugar melts and turns into a golden amber color.
- Add the butter to the melted sugar, stirring until the butter is completely melted and combined.
- Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously. Be careful as the mixture will bubble up.
- Continue to cook and stir for another 2-3 minutes until the caramel is smooth and thickened.
- Remove the caramel from heat, stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Allow it to cool slightly.
- Pour the caramel over the cooled crust and spread it evenly. Place the tart in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the chocolate ganache.
- For the chocolate ganache, place the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until it just begins to boil. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for a minute. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the chocolate ganache over the caramel layer in the tart. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Arrange the banana slices on top of the chocolate ganache.
- Refrigerate the tart for at least 2-3 hours or until set.
- Before serving, you can garnish the tart with additional chocolate shavings or a drizzle of caramel.
