Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups cookie crumbs (such as graham crackers or vanilla wafers)
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 ripe bananas, sliced
• 2 cups heavy cream
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 large egg yolks
• 1 ½ cups whole milk
• Pinch of salt

How to Make Banana Cream Tartlets

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a muffin tin, forming small tartlet shells. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Allow to cool completely.
4. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, cornstarch, egg yolks, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Transfer the cream mixture to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Let it cool to room temperature.
6. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
7. Gently fold the cooled cream mixture into the whipped cream until well combined.
8. Fill each cooled tartlet shell with the banana cream mixture, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
9. Top each tartlet with sliced bananas and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the cookie crust is firmly pressed to hold the filling well.
• Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
• Chill the tartlets for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to set.

Easy Variations

• Add a layer of chocolate ganache underneath the banana cream for a chocolate twist.
• Substitute the cookie crust with a traditional pie crust for a different texture.
• Top with toasted coconut or chopped nuts for added flavor and crunch.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on the side.
• Fresh berries for a pop of color and freshness.
• A drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.
