The tart has been popularized over time as a versatile dessert that can be filled with a variety of ingredients. The combination of bananas with vanilla pudding is simple yet extremely tasty, with deep roots in cooking traditions. This recipe quickly became a favorite due to its ease of preparation and comforting flavor.
Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 3 eggs
- 100 g sugar
- 100 g flour
- 3 tablespoons hot water
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
For the pudding cream:
- 1 packet of vanilla pudding
- 400 ml milk
- 100 g sugar
- 70 g butter
For the topping:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 100 g chocolate (preferably high cocoa content)
- 2 tablespoons oil
Preparation:
Step 1: Preparing the crust
Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar using a mixer until the mixture becomes frothy and doubles in volume. It is essential to achieve an airy texture to ensure a light and fluffy crust.
Add hot water and mix well. Then, gently fold in the sifted flour along with the baking powder using a spatula, being careful not to lose the air in the mixture.
Step 2: Baking the crust
Grease a tart pan with butter and dust it with flour to prevent the dough from sticking. Pour the crust mixture into the pan and level the surface with the spatula. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until it turns golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. After baking, let the crust cool completely on a rack.
Step 3: Preparing the pudding cream
Meanwhile, prepare the pudding according to the package instructions, adding the sugar to the milk. Once the pudding reaches the desired consistency, let it cool slightly. When it is almost cool, add the softened butter and mix well until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous cream.
Step 4: Assembling the tart
When the crust has completely cooled, pour the pudding cream over it, spreading it evenly. Then, peel the bananas and slice them. Arrange the banana slices on top of the cream, taking care to place them nicely for an attractive appearance.
Step 5: Chocolate glazing
For the delicious topping, melt the chocolate in the microwave, mixing it with the oil. This combination will not only provide an intense chocolate flavor but will also help create a smoother texture. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the bananas, allowing it to flow gently.
Step 6: Cooling and serving
Let the tart cool at room temperature, then refrigerate it for at least an hour before serving. This step will help firm up the cream and enhance the flavors.
Practical tips:
- Choose bananas that are ripe but not too soft to maintain their shape.
- If you want a more intense flavor, you can add a few drops of vanilla extract to the pudding cream.
- Chocolate can be replaced with caramel sauce for another delicious variation.
Nutritional benefits:
This tart is not only delicious but also contains nutritious ingredients. Bananas are rich in potassium and vitamins, while vanilla pudding can provide calcium due to the milk. It is a dessert that can be enjoyed in moderation, having approximately 250 calories per serving.
