SALTED CARAMEL BANANA MACARONS

Steps:

• Cook's Notes: You don't need to go out and purchase older egg whites, you can simply used the eggs that you've had in the refrigerator for the last 4 or 5 days. After you separate the eggs, make sure you allow the egg whites to come to room temperature before whipping. Room temperature egg whites whip better and faster if at room temperature.
• For the meringue cookies: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Prep 2 half sheet pans with parchment or silicone baking mats.
• Sift together your almond meal and powdered sugar and set aside.
• In the bowl of a standing mixer, or with an electric hand mixer, beat the egg whites on low speed until foamy. Begin sprinkling in the meringue powder as you beat. Then increase the speed to medium and beat until soft peaks form. If adding food coloring at the point, you can divide the meringue, add to a separate bowl and dye as desired (see Cook's Note, below). Beat to combine. When you get to soft peaks (the peaks will curl when the whisk is lifted from the mixture), carefully proceed; you want firm glossy peaks in your meringue, you do not want to beat all the way to stiff peaks (peaks stand up straight when a whisk is lifted from the mixture).
• Add a third of the almond mixture, folding it in gently. Once combined, add the remaining almond flour in 2 batches. Be very, very gentle! Make sure to fully incorporate all your ingredients, but do not over-fold.
• Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a plain 1/2-inch tip. (You can also use a ziptop bag with a corner cut off.) It's way easier to fill your bag if you stand it up in a tall glass and fold the top down before spooning in the batter.
• Pipe 1-inch mounds of batter onto the prepared sheet pans. Using a wet fingertip, tap the mounds to a smooth tip. Alternately, pick up the pan with both hands, and holding it level, tap it firmly onto the counter several times. Allow any residual water to dry out. Sprinkle each cookie with fleur de sel. Allow the cookies to rest 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the humidity.
• Bake the cookies for about 15 minutes, 1 sheet at a time. Let the cookies cool.
• For the filling: In a heavy bottomed saucepan set over medium-high heat, combine the sugar and 2 tablespoons water. Slowly let the sugar melt and turn into caramel (do not stir). Carefully add the butter and heavy cream and stand back as it will release a lot of steam. Stir until everything is fully incorporated. Add the fleur de sel.
• In a small bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork. Once the caramel has cooled, add it to the mashed banana. Spread the mixture on the cookies, making sandwiches. Place in the refrigerator and allow to mature for at least 24 hours.

CARAMEL BANANA BREAD TRIFLE

Steps:

• Make the pudding according to package instructions. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the whiskey.
• Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks, adding the powdered sugar a little at a time. Stir in the vanilla. Whisk the mascarpone to make it light and fluffy. Fold it into the whipped cream. Fold in the remaining 1 tablespoon whiskey.
• In a trifle dish or punch bowl, place a single layer of banana bread cubes and zucchini bread cubes into the bottom of the bowl. Drizzle over some of the whiskey to moisten the bread. Spread half the pie squares over the top. Evenly spread half the pudding on top, and then a layer of half the whipped cream. Top with half the caramel sauce. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, topping the whole thing with the chopped pecans. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.

CHOCOLATE BANANA TRIFLE

BAILEYS BANANA TRIFLES

INDIVIDUAL RASPBERRY AND BANANA TRIFLES

Steps:

• For sauce:
• Combine raspberries and their juices and sugar in blender. Puree until sugar dissolves. Strain sauce into bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
• For custard:
• Combine sugar and potato starch in heavy large saucepan; whisk to blend. Gradually add nondairy creamer, whisking until well blended. Whisk in egg yolks, lemon peel and lemon juice. Add margarine. Whisk over medium-high heat until custard is thick and smooth and just begins to bubble, about 9 minutes. Transfer to bowl. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, about 4 hours; then cover and keep chilled.
• For cake:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine orange juice concentrate, lemon juice and both peels in small bowl; whisk to blend. Combine cake meal and potato starch in medium bowl; whisk to blend.
• Using handheld electric mixer, beat egg yolks and 3/4 cup sugar in large bowl until thick about 1 minute. Beat in orange concentrate mixture, then dry ingredients. Using clean dry beaters, beat whites and salt in another large bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 3/4 cup sugar, beating until stiff but not dry. Fold whites into yolk mixture in 3 additions.
• Transfer batter to ungreased 10-inch-diameter angel food cake pan with 4-inch-high sides. Bake cake until golden brown and tester inserted near center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Immediately invert center tube of cake pan onto narrow-neck bottle. Cool cake completely. (Sauce, custard and cake can be made 1 day ahead. Keep sauce and custard chilled. Cover cake in pan; store at room temperature.)
• Cut cake from pan. Cut cake into twelve 1-inch-thick slices (reserve remaining for another use.) Trim crusts. Cut each slice into 6 squares. Place 3 banana slices in each of twelve 1- to 1 1/4-cup stemmed glasses. Spoon 1 tablespoon sauce over. Top with 3 cake pieces, 2 tablespoons custard, 4 banana slices and 1 1/2 tablespoons sauce. Repeat layering with cake, custard, banana and sauce. Garnish with mint, lemon and additional banana slices, if desired. Chill up to 6 hours.

BANANA TRIFLE

Steps:

• Slice the bananas and set them aside in a mixing bowl. Combine the butter and sugars in a measuring cup and heat in the microwave until soft.
• Beat the mixture until smooth, then heat 1-2 minutes more on high until it bubbles. (Longer will caramelize it, which can also be good.).
• Add the rum (watch for the alcohol to boil off) and mix thoroughly. Pour over the bananas and refrigerate until cool. (Overnight is good.).
• Bake the cake according to package directions. Pan doesn't matter.
• Slice the cake into 1" cubes. (This is easier to do if it's already slightly dry.).
• Mix the lemon juice into the yogurt, stirring thoroughly to get it nice and creamy.
• Cook the bananas in the microwave for a few minutes; they should be soft but not mushy. Pour off and reserve the cooking liquid.
• Assembly time! Layer cake, bananas, and yogurt into a nice glass casserole or bowl. I usually do 2 full sets of layers, with a third layer of cake on top. Pour the reserved cooking liquid on top and top with the remaining yogurt.
• If you've got an extra fresh banana lying around slice it and arrange it on top; sprinkle cinnamon or powdered nuts if you like. Serve chilled.
