Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

For phyllo cups
9 phyllo pastry sheets (each about 17x13 inches), stacked and halved crosswise, forming eighteen 8 1/2x13-inch rectangles
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
8 tablespoons (about) sugar
For vanilla pastry cream
1/2 cup sugar
3 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups whole milk
4 large egg yolks
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
3 large firm but ripe bananas, peeled, sliced thinly on diagonal
Additional sugar
Chocolate sorbet

Steps:

  • Make phyllo cups:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously butter every other cup in 12-cup muffin pan. Place 1 phyllo rectangle on work surface; cover remaining phyllo with damp cloth to prevent drying. Brush rectangle with melted butter; sprinkle with 1/2 tablespoon sugar. Place second phyllo rectangle atop first; brush with butter and sprinkle with 1/2 tablespoon sugar. Repeat 3 more times; top with 1 more rectangle and brush with butter, making stack of 6 rectangles. Using small sharp knife and 6-inch-diameter plate as guide, cut out two 6-inch round stacks. Press each stack into 1 buttered muffin cup. Repeat entire procedure 2 more times, making 4 more phyllo cups (6 total). Bake cups until golden and crisp, about 15 minutes. Carefully lift cups, twisting slightly to loosen; place on rack. Cool completely. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.)
  • Make pastry cream:
  • Whisk 1/2 cup sugar and cornstarch in heavy medium saucepan to blend. Gradually whisk in milk, then yolks. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Whisk over medium heat until pastry cream thickens and boils, about 6 minutes. Strain pastry cream into small bowl; press plastic wrap directly onto surface. Chill until cold, at least 3 hours and up to 2 days.
  • Preheat broiler. Place phyllo cups on small baking sheet. Spoon 1/3 cup pastry cream into each cup. Overlap 5 or 6 banana slices atop pastry cream in each cup. Sprinkle bananas with additional sugar. Broil pastries until sugar topping caramelizes, turning sheet for even browning, about 2 minutes. Transfer cups to plates. Scoop sorbet alongside.

These cups are the perfect combination of sweet and savory. The caramelized bananas are perfectly balanced by the salty phyllo cups.

The vanilla cream was the perfect complement to the caramelized bananas. It was light and fluffy, and it really helped to balance out the sweetness of the bananas.
