Introduction from Rukmini Iyer

This is unashamedly indulgent – something to make and eat occasionally, if enthusiastically. I just about resisted the urge to increase the calorie content by adding peanut butter: very restrained.

Ingredients

1 sheet of ready-rolled puff pastry, cut into 6 squares
200g caramel (tinned or dulce de leche)
50g dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids), grated
3–4 large bananas, sliced into coins
2 tbsp melted butter
chocolate sauce, to serve (optional)

Essential kit

You will need: a lined baking sheet.

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°C/gas 6. Lay the squares of pastry on a lined baking sheet, and spread a tablespoon of caramel evenly over each square, leaving a 1cm border around the edge. Reserve the remaining caramel.

Scatter the grated chocolate over the caramel, and arrange the banana coins all over the top. Brush with the melted butter, then drizzle over the remaining caramel.

Transfer the tarts to the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and crisp. Serve hot, drizzled with chocolate sauce if you wish.

FOR GLUTEN-FREE: Use gluten-free ready-rolled puff pastry.
