Banana Tarte Tatin

November 10th, 2010

Every once in a while I think it’s important to make a dessert whose name you’re not quite sure how to pronounce.  That was the case with this Banana Tarte Tatin with Banana Sabayon.  Bananas certainly aren’t one of my favorite fruits, but when paired with copious amounts of heavy cream, puff pastry and rum, they just about top my list (or in the form of this).   I found the recipe from my Balthazar cookbook (one of my favorite French brasseries in New York) and though it isn’t online, there are plenty of similar ones available (like this).   The bananas caramelized beautifully and I loved the lingering taste of rum that gave it warmth and dimension.

  18. That looks so delicious!! I love bananas especially in dessert!! =)

  19. I’ve been reading your blog for awhile, and I’m curious why you don’t post the recipes you use as part of your blog entry (especially when, as here, the recipe isn’t available online that you used). As long as you word the instructions in your own words it isn’t a problem to post recipes on your blog. Maybe you just like the way it looks without the recipe. Your beautiful pictures certainly do say a lot on their own! This one looks delicious!

  20. Yum, that looks delish!
