How to Make Banana Chestnut Tartlets W Puff Pastry

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  2. Use a wet pastry brush to wash down any undissolved sugar crystals from the sides of the pan.
  3. Continue swirling the mixture and simmer until it turns a light amber color (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Cut the thawed puff pastry into 6 equal circles (approximately 4 inches in diameter). Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Gently press the edges of each circle to create a slightly raised rim, about 1/2 inch high, to contain the filling.
  8. Arrange the sliced bananas and chopped chestnuts inside each tartlet, creating a concentric circle pattern with the bananas in the center.
  9. Drizzle 2 1/2 tablespoons of the cooled caramel over each tartlet. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bananas are softened, the caramel is a deep brown, and the puff pastry is golden brown.
  11. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
