Banana and Caramel Tarts

Here is a super quick dessert to make when you don’t have the time or desire to make anything more fiddly but still want to serve something delicious. These Banana & Caramel mini tarts take very little time to prepare so you don’t have to slave in the kitchen.

These Banana and Caramel Tarts were very easy, bake the premade tart cases ahead of time, then when it’s time for dessert simply spoon on some caramel topping, add sliced bananas, caramel ice cream and then I’ve added Peanut Praline, as per the original recipe.  However, I’ve made this a few times since, and just plain peanuts, chocolate flake or crushed honeycomb on top is plenty enough, saves the time on making the praline.
