Shortcrust lattice tarts with a sweet cooked-banana filling.
About Banana Tart
Jean-Marc Gooroovadoo’s Food Safari recipe presents small lattice-topped banana tarts as a popular Mauritian dessert. The shortcrust pastry holds a thick filling of ripe bananas and caster sugar.
Butter enriches the pastry around the sweet banana centre. Parisienne essence gives the filling its colour, while the simple fruit-and-sugar combination keeps banana at the heart of the flavour.
Thin pastry strips form an open lattice over the filling, with a golden egg-washed surface. The tarts are offered at room temperature for afternoon tea.
