Here is the recipe for the Banana - Marshmallow Tart
Base
2 sheets brick (Tunisian) pastry or Filo pastry (use 4 sheets)
10g unsalted butter, melted
Colour topping
25g sugar
3 bananas, thickly sliced
coloured sugar or grated white chocolate, to decorate
White topping
10 marshmallows
1 - To make base, preheat oven to 180 degrees, line a tray with baking paper, cut the pastry into 4 rectangles (11cm x 14cm). Place onto the prepared tray and brush each layer with melted butter. Bake for 3-4 minutes, or until the pastry is golden.
2 - To make the colour topping, heat the sugar in a heavy-based pan over medium-high heat. Once the sugar starts to colour, add the banana and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until tender and caramelised.
3 - To make the white topping, place the marshmallows and 50ml water in a mixing bowl placed over a large saucepan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until the marshmallows have melted and the mixture is cooled. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool for a few minutes (do not leave too long or else the mixture will become too hard).
4 - On serving plates, stack the sheets of pastry on 2 plates. Arrange the banana on the upper part of the pastry and spread the marshmallow on the lower part. Sprinkle with coloured sugar or a little grated white chocolate.
