Mini Caramel Banana Tarts are elegant, bite-sized treats with a crisp tart shell, rich homemade caramel, and fresh banana slices—ideal for entertaining or indulging in a luxurious dessert.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 mini tart shells (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp lemon juice (to prevent banana browning)

Instructions

  1. If using homemade tart dough, roll and bake tart shells as directed. Let cool completely.
  2. In a heavy saucepan, melt sugar over medium heat until golden and bubbling. Stir constantly to avoid burning.
  3. Carefully add butter and stir until fully incorporated.
  4. Slowly pour in cream while stirring; continue to stir until smooth. Remove from heat and add vanilla and salt. Let cool slightly.
  5. Slice bananas and toss with lemon juice to preserve color.
  6. Fill each cooled tart shell with a spoonful of caramel sauce.
  7. Top with banana slices and drizzle with additional caramel.
  8. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use firm, ripe bananas to maintain texture.
  • Allow caramel to cool slightly before adding to shells to prevent sogginess.
  • Drizzle caramel right before serving for best appearance.
  • Sprinkle sea salt for a sweet-salty contrast.
  • Use a piping bag for neat and precise caramel placement.
