Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

Vanilla Pastry Cream (recipe below)
Bananas (I used two bananas for 6 small dessert servings)
Good quality caramel sauce, or dulce de leche.
Fresh whipped cream (I used 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream and 1 Tablespoon powdered sugar)
Graham Cracker crumble (recipe below)
Vanilla Pastry Cream
2/3 cup sugar (can be reduced to 1/2 cup if you prefer desserts less sweet)
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups whole milk
2 eggs
2 Tablespoons butter
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract (or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste)

Steps:

In a medium bowl, beat eggs with a fork to combine. Set aside. Mix sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium saucepan. Gradually pour in milk, while whisking, to make a smooth mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring almost constantly, until the mixture thickens and boils. Continue to cook and stir one minute. Pour several tablespoons of the hot mixture into the bowl with the eggs and immediately stir well. Pour warmed egg mixture into the pan with the rest of the hot milk mixture. Return to a slow boil, and cook one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. Set aside to cool. When the pan has cooled, place in the refrigerator to fully cool. If desired, lay a piece of plastic wrap on the top surface of the pastry cream to prevent a skin from forming.

Tips for Making the Caramel Banana Dessert:

Use ripe bananas. This will ensure that they are sweet and have a creamy texture.
Don't overcook the bananas. They should be cooked until they are just tender, but not mushy.
Make sure the caramel sauce is thick and creamy. If it is too thin, it will not coat the bananas properly.
Serve the dessert immediately. This is when it is at its best, with the bananas still warm and the caramel sauce still gooey.

Conclusion:

The Caramel Banana Dessert is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up ripe bananas, and it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
