Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Melt the sugar and butter together on a low heat without stirring the mixture. Once the sugar has melted, turn up the heat and bubble until it turns a deep caramel colour. If the butter separates from the caramel, take the pan off the heat and add 1 tbsp of warm water, stirring until the butter emulsifies again.
- Pour the caramel into a 23cm cake tin with a solid base and spread the caramel out quickly with the back of a warm spoon. Slice the bananas into 2cm-thick pieces and arrange them, cut-side down, in concentric circles in the tin, then sprinkle over a pinch of sea salt and half the orange zest.
- Cut the pastry into a circle 3cm larger than the tin. Lay the pastry on top of the bananas and tuck the edges down inside the tin. Bake in the oven for 25-30 mins until the pastry is risen and cooked through. Whisk the double cream with the icing sugar until soft peaks form. Add the rum, cinnamon and remaining orange zest, and whisk until just combined.
- Leave the tart to cool in the tin for 5 mins, then carefully turn the tart out onto a large plate, wearing oven gloves in case the hot caramel splashes. Serve with the cream.

EASY CARAMELIZED BANANAS
These are great for breakfast over pancakes, waffles, french toast, crepes, oatmeal, etc. Or serve with low fat ice cream and toasted macadamia nuts for dessert. You can use regular tub margarine or butter in place of the cooking spray. However, this will double the cooking time, and make for a crunchier stickier outside to your banana.

Steps:
- Slice bananas into thick coins or lengthwise strips, depending on your preference.
- Pour sugar onto a plate. Roll bananas in sugar, until completely coated.
- Spray a medium size nonstick pan, and heat over medium high heat. Add bananas and sugar.
- Cook bananas until light to golden brown underneath, about 4-5 minutes (you can lift with a spatula or fork to peek). Be careful not to overcook or burn them (if you smell them browning, or see color in the pan, flip them right away). Keep in mind these times will vary, depending on your stove.
- Gently flip bananas over to brown other side, turning heat down to medium. The second side will brown in about one minute.
- Transfer to a plate that has been coated with cooking spray (otherwise they may stick - they are ooey gooey and sticky!) and serve. Alternately, slide them right onto your ice cream or breakfast food.
- Soak pan in hot water to facilitate cleaning.
Tips:
- For the perfect caramelized bananas, use ripe but firm bananas. Overripe bananas will become too mushy.
- Be patient when caramelizing the bananas. It takes time to get the perfect golden brown color.
- If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can caramelize the sugar on top of the tartlets under the broiler. Just keep a close eye on them so they don't burn.
- These tartlets are best served fresh, but they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To make the tartlets ahead of time, bake them according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Store the tartlets in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through.
Conclusion:
These caramelized banana tartlets are the perfect dessert for any occasion. They're easy to make, delicious, and sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give these tartlets a try. You won't be disappointed!
