Ingredients

• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 125 grams unsalted butter
• 50 grams powdered sugar
• 1 whole large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 medium ripe bananas
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 150 milliliters heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and powdered sugar.

Step 3

Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and work it into the flour mixture with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the flour mixture. Mix until a smooth dough forms.

Step 5

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.

Step 6

On a floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough evenly into the pan and trim the edges.

Step 7

Line the tart shell with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans.

Step 8

Blind bake the tart crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Step 9

Remove parchment paper and weights, and bake an additional 5 minutes until the crust is lightly golden.

Step 10

In a medium saucepan, mash the bananas and add the lemon juice to prevent browning.

Step 11

Over medium heat, add the granulated sugar, heavy cream, cornstarch, and salt to the mashed bananas, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.

Step 12

Remove from heat and let the banana filling cool slightly.

Step 13

Pour the banana filling into the baked tart shell and smooth out the top.

Step 14

Allow the tart to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to set the filling.

Step 15

Serve chilled and enjoy your nut-free banana tart!
