Ingredients

for the tarte tatin
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 5 large bananas halved lengthwise
  • 1 roll ready-made puff pastry, thawed
for the salted chocolate
  • 100 g dark chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
to serve
  • 100 g hazelnuts toasted and lightly crushed
  • vanilla ice cream

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°c.
  2. In a large, oven-proof frying pan, place the sugar in an even layer. Place the pan over medium heat and allow the sugar to caramelise, stirring every now and then to ensure it caramelises evenly.
  3. While the sugar is caramelising, roll out the puff pastry slightly and cut a circle big enough to fit the pan.
  4. When the caramel has formed, take the pan off the heat.
  5. Place the bananas, flat-side down in the pan (being careful not to burn yourself with the hot caramel) then top with the pastry.
  6. Place the pan in the oven and allow to bake for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is golden brown, puffed and cooked through.
  7. While the tarte is cooking, melt the chocolate with the sea salt flaked and set aside.
  8. When the tarte is cooked, remove from the oven and very carefully invert onto a serving plate.
  9. Serve the tarte tatin warm with ice cream, hazelnuts and a generous drizzle of chocolate.
