Ingredients

• 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
• 2 ripe bananas
• 200 g unsweetened chestnut puree
• 50 g powdered sugar
• 30 g butter
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp milk
• 0 for serving whipped cream (optional)
• 0 for garnish chopped chestnuts or nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Thaw the puff pastry sheets if frozen and roll them out slightly on a floured surface. Cut the pastry into 6 evenly sized squares and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk the egg and milk together to create an egg wash. Brush the edges of each puff pastry square with the egg wash.

Step 4

Using a fork, lightly prick the center of each square to keep it from puffing up too much while baking.

Step 5

Peel and slice the bananas into rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.

Step 6

In a small pan over medium heat, melt the butter and stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sugar dissolves.

Step 7

Add the banana slices to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until they are lightly caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 8

In a separate bowl, mix the chestnut puree with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 9

Spread a layer of the chestnut mixture in the center of each puff pastry square, leaving the edges clear.

Step 10

Top with a few slices of caramelized banana.

Step 11

Bake the tartlets in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden and crispy.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow the tartlets to cool slightly before serving.

Step 13

Optional: Top with whipped cream and chopped chestnuts or nuts for garnish before serving.
