How to Make Bananas Foster Tart
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Prepare your 9-inch pie crust (or use a store-bought one-crust baked shell in a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom). If using a tart pan, trim any excess pastry.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, gently toss 3 ripe bananas, sliced, with 1 tablespoon of dark rum (optional).
- Evenly sprinkle 1 tablespoon of finely grated orange zest in the bottom of the baked pie shell.
- Arrange the rum-tossed bananas in a single layer over the orange zest.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup of chopped pecans over the bananas.
- In a heavy medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 cup heavy whipping cream, and 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter.
- Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture comes to a boil.
- Continue cooking and stirring for another 2-4 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened and turned a deep golden brown.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Carefully spoon the warm sauce over the bananas and pecans.
- Let cool for 30 minutes.
- Serve warm or chilled, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
