BANANA PUDDING TART RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Crust: In a food processor, pulse Nilla Wafers until crumbly. Add softened butter and Nilla Wafer crumbs to a large bowl, and thoroughly mix by hand until well incorporated. Using a 9.5 - 10 inch tart pan, press mixture into the bottom of the pan, and along the sides to form a crust. Place in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the bananas.
• Filling: Cover a sheet pan with parchment or foil and roast bananas, 25 - 30 minutes, uncovered. Let bananas rest and cool, about 15 minutes. Once cooled, in a mixing bowl, peel and add bananas to the bowl, along with the sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, eggs, and egg yolks. Using a mixer, mix until thoroughly combined, about 1 minute. Remove pie crust from the refrigerator. Pour filling into chilled pie crust. Using a covered sheet pan, place the tart pan on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, or until filling is set.
• Cool at room temperature, at least one hour. For a decorative touch, immediately before serving, add whipped cream or meringue on top. Or, serve a side of whipped cream with each slice.

NO-BAKE BANANA PUDDING TART

Steps:

• For the crust: Grease a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray and line the bottom with parchment paper. Combine all the crust ingredients in a food processor and pulse together until the crumbs are moistened (or mix in a medium bowl with a rubber spatula); press evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan. Use a measuring cup or flat-bottom glass to really pack the crumbs in place. Set aside while you mix the filling.
• For the filling: Whip the cream in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment at medium speed until medium peaks form, about 1 minute. Transfer to a medium bowl and refrigerate.
• In the same mixer bowl, beat the mascarpone until smooth. Add the brown sugar, salt, and vanilla and whip till smooth. Beat in the condensed milk. Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture in three batches. Stop when just a few streaks of whipped cream remain.
• Spread one-third of the pudding into the crust. Top with half each of the sliced bananas and wafers, creating a uniform layer and pressing lightly into the pudding. Add another one-third of the pudding. Top with the remaining sliced bananas and wafers and 1 tablespoon of the chocolate chips. Top with the remaining pudding and smooth to the edges. Create a decorative swirl on top of the pudding, if desired-just make sure the bananas are covered to prevent them from turning brown. Cover with an inverted plate and refrigerate overnight.
• To serve, unmold the tart from the springform and place on a serving tray. Top with the remaining 1 tablespoon chocolate chips and the banana chips. Refrigerate any leftovers for up to 2 days.

BANANA PUDDING TARTS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the pudding mix with the milk until smooth and well combined. Place in the fridge and let chill until firm.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Working with one pie crust at a time, place on a lightly floured work surface and roll out. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll each pie crust to make them slightly larger.
• Trim the edges to create somewhat of a rectangle that's the 9x10-inches in size. Then cut into six even rectangles. Place on a baking sheet in a single layer.
• Repeat with another pie crust and place the rectangles on a separate baking sheet.
• Place a small spoonful of pudding on the center of each, and then place one or two thin banana slices on top. Sprinkle with crushed up vanilla wafers. Brush the edges with a bit of beaten egg.
• Repeat the rolling of the remaining pie crusts to create the tops of each tart. Place each piece on top of the filling and crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Poke one or two holes with a sharp knife on top of each tart to release steam while baking.
• Brush each with egg wash and bake until golden brown, about 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
• In large bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, butter, milk and salt until smooth and spreadable in consistency. Divide glaze into four separate small bowls. Place 2-3 drops of each food coloring into the bowls with icing and whisk to combine. Spread the glazes on top of each cooled tart and top with sprinkles.

BANANA PUDDING TART

Steps:

• Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Place the cookies and sugar in a food processor and process until finely ground. Add the melted butter and process until it looks like wet sand. Transfer to a 9 1/2-inch fluted tart pan and press into the bottom and up the sides. Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
• Make the filling: Set a large fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl. Combine the milk, heavy cream, 1/4 cup sugar, the egg yolks, cornstarch and salt in a medium saucepan; whisk until smooth. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture bubbles, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for 1 minute, whisking. Remove from the heat and immediately transfer to the sieve; press through with a rubber spatula. Stir in the butter and vanilla. Let cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
• Peel and thinly slice 2 bananas and arrange evenly on the bottom of the crust. Gently spread the filling on top of the bananas and smooth the surface. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface; refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
• Peel and thinly slice the remaining bananas and arrange them on the tart, overlapping the slices. Sprinkle with sugar and brown with a kitchen torch.
• Make the topping: Bring a few inches of water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk the egg whites, remaining 1/2 cup sugar and the cream of tartar in a large heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over the pan; cook, whisking, until the sugar dissolves, the egg whites are frothy and the mixture is warm, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the bowl from the pan and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until the meringue is cool and stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a piping bag; pipe the meringue around the edge of the tart. Brown with the torch.

CLASSIC BANANA PUDDING

Steps:

• Whisk 1/4 cup sugar, the cornstarch and egg yolks in a large bowl to make a paste. Combine the milk, 1/2 cup each heavy cream and sugar and the salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture while whisking. Return the mixture to the saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil, whisking constantly, until smooth and thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter and vanilla. Set the pudding aside to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
• Spread 1/2 cup pudding in a 2-quart baking dish. Layer about one-third of the banana slices on top, followed by half of the cookies and a heaping cup of the pudding. Top with another one-third of the banana slices and another heaping cup of pudding, then top with the remaining banana slices, cookies and pudding. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 6 hours or overnight.
• When ready to serve, beat the remaining 1 cup heavy cream and 2 tablespoons sugar in a medium bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Spread on top of the pudding. Top with crushed cookies.

BANANA PUDDING CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Make the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners. Whisk the flour, ground cookies, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
• Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, scraping down the bowl occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Combine the milk and vanilla in a liquid measuring cup. With the mixer on low speed, beat the flour mixture into the batter in two batches, alternating with the milk mixture in two batches. Add the chopped banana and stir with a rubber spatula until blended.
• Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters of the way. Bake until the cupcakes are golden and spring back when gently pressed, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 5 minutes in the pan, then remove to the rack to cool completely.
• Make the filling: Put the white chocolate chips in a small bowl. Heat the heavy cream in the microwave until steaming, then pour over the white chocolate and let stand until softened, 3 to 5 minutes; stir until smooth. Let cool about 15 minutes, then refrigerate until thickened slightly, 5 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The filling should fall off a spoon in a slow, thick ribbon.
• Make the frosting: Beat the butter and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and beat in the confectioners' sugar, then increase the speed to medium high and beat until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and 1 tablespoon milk and beat until smooth, about 1 more minute. Beat in the remaining 1 tablespoon milk if the frosting is too stiff.
• Cut a 1-inch-wide slit in the top of each cupcake, cutting about halfway down. Transfer the filling to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip. Gently squeeze each cupcake to open and pipe the filling into the cupcakes. Spread or pipe the frosting on the cupcakes; top each with a cookie and a banana slice.

• Add the oil water mixture to this and stir to combine. Knead into a smooth, elastic dough.
• Roll out thinly and cut out 24 rounds with a diameter a tad larger than that of your mini muffin tin.
• My mini muffin pans are non-stick, so I didnt need to grease them, but you might. So prepare your tin like you normally do.
• Press one round of dough into each mini muffin tin hole as you would for bigger tarteletts.
• For the filling combine prepared pudding, vanilla extract and eggs. Mix well and then fill into the prepared muffin tin(s). I found that about 1 ts fits nicely.
• Bake in the preheated oven at 180°C/350°F for about 15-20 minutes or until puffed up and pastry has baked through.
• The muffin tips will deflate while cooling.
• Allow to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Enjoy. :).

BANANA PUDDING CHEESECAKE BARS

Steps:

• Crust
• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 325°F. Line a 13x9" or 12x8" baking pan with two pieces of parchment paper, leaving overhang on all sides. Anchor parchment to pan with metal binder clips. Stir Nilla wafers, sugar, salt, and remaining 4 Tbsp. butter in a medium bowl to combine. Press mixture into an even layer in bottom of prepared pan; it won't hold together but will pack like a sand. Bake until toasted, about 10 minutes. Let cool.
• Filling and assembly
• While the crust is cooling, beat cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed, stopping motor occasionally and scraping down sides of bowl and beater, 3 minutes. Reduce speed to medium and drop in pieces of banana, a little at a time, breaking up and incorporating completely before adding more. (Adding the bananas slowly helps blend them into the cream cheese.) Scrape down bowl and beater again, then beat 2 minutes on medium-high, covering mixer with a splash guard or kitchen towel to avoid spatter. Reduce speed to medium-low and pour in condensed milk; beat, scraping down bowl halfway through, 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low and add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition; mix in salt. For the silkiest cheesecake, strain filling though a fine-mesh sieve into a jug or pitcher, pushing through with a rubber spatula. Stir in vanilla paste or scrape in vanilla seeds and mix well.
• Knock stand mixer bowl or jug against counter a few times to release any trapped air. Let filling sit 2 minutes, then pour into crust. Bake cheesecake until 2" of edges are puffed and center wobbles slightly when pan is gently shaken, 30-35 minutes, depending on size of pan. Turn off oven and prop open door (a wooden spoon works well). Let cheesecake cool in oven 30 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cheesecake cool completely. Chill until cold, at least 4 hours, covering with wax paper or plastic wrap after 1 hour.
• When you are ready to top cheesecake, beat heavy cream, sour cream, and powdered sugar in the clean bowl of a stand mixer with whisk attachment on medium-high until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Spread topping over chilled cheesecake. Chill, uncovered, at least 1 hour before serving.
• Slice cheesecake with a hot, dry knife and serve cold or room temperature. Do ahead: Cheesecake can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and keep chilled, or freeze up to 1 month. Crust will be slightly softer than when freshly made.

BANANA CUSTARD TARTS
