Hosting a dinner for guest should not keep you in the kitchen the whole time. This quick and easy dessert you can prep ahead of time them pop in the oven while you sit, relax and visit while eating dinner. You’ll want to let it cool slightly on the pan before flipping the pastry. I used the brown sugar that candied on the pan as a garnish. I left off the pecans only because my son just got another round of braces and he can’t have the extra nuts, but it would be delicious!
Bananas Foster Puff Pastry
(Adapted from Jessica Gavin)
1 defrosted puff pastry sheet, cut into 6 even pieces
2 teaspoons butter
6 tablespoons brown sugar
2 bananas
powdered sugar, for dusting
¼ cup chopped pecans
On a parchment lined baking sheet, layer ½ teaspoon butter, 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 3 slices of banana.
Top with one piece of puff pastry, press down the sides to seal. Brush the puff pastry with melted butter.
Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Bake at 400 degrees until the pastry is golden brown, about 10 minutes or until the caramel hardens.
Use a spatula to flip over, and transfer to a plate. Dust with powdered sugar and chopped pecans.
