  • Claire Saffitz Makes Banana Cream Tart | Dessert Person
    I have a very few reference points when it comes to banana cream pie, having only tasted it once or twice. When I set out to develop my own version, this provided to be a good thing because I felt free to interpret it any way I liked. Here I make more or a tart than a pie and eliminate the layer of sliced bananas (which quickly take on an unappealing color and texture). Follow along as Claire Saffitz Makes a delicious Banana-Sesame Cream Tart that features a craveable combination of bananas and sour cream.
    Banana-Sesame Cream Tart
    Ingredients:
    6 ounces (170g) Nilla wafers or graham crackers (about 46 wafers or 11 crackers)
    5 tablespoons unsalted butter (2.5 oz / 71g), melted and cooled
    1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, plus more for garnish
    2 tablespoons plus 1/3 cup sugar (3.2oz / 92g)
    A pinch plus 1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt or 1/4 teaspoon Morton kosher salt
    3 tablespoons cornstarch
    4 large egg yolks (2.1 oz / 60g)
    1 2/3 cups plus 3/4 cup heavy cream (20.5 oz / 580g), chilled
    1 cup mashed overripe banana (8.5 oz / 240g), from about 2 medium
    2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
    1/2 cup sour cream (4.2 oz / 120g), chilled

    Hi Claire! thank you so much for this wonderful recipe! It was very straightforward and i had no hiccups! You mos def were right about not fussing with the crust! I was getting too obsessed with getting the edges pressed! lol The cooking the custard was a test of patience, and yes it will seem like nothing is happening for a while but there is a quick turn around. you will immediately know when it thickens! I would only recommend that people just use a stand mixer or hand mixer for the whip topping, its just easier lol. The toasted sesame pairs so nicely with the sweetness of the banana (due to the over ripeness) and the sour cream whip provides a nice little bite that brings everything together. I wont even mention the crust, because you know how good it is....BUT adding those sesame seeds gave so much fun crunchy texture. I loved EVERYTHING about this recipe!! Thinking about trying a TSB of tahini instead of the sesame oil next time!!! Thank you thank you thank you!

    I never tried a banana cream pie, it wasn’t anything special, really (even though I do eat bananas), but this version I like. I also like the fact it has a graham crust, and I am the same - always bake my graham crusts, always!
    The only thing I would try differently is that I would first caramelise bananas in a tiny bit of butter and sugar before I would purée them into pastry cream mixture (especially if bananas were not perfectly ripe yet). And also, the nut butter version with nuts instead of sesame sounds delicious too.

      I suggested meyer lemon as well. There is salt, some heat (not cooked long enough), (way too much full) fat, and no acid in this dish. The dessert is unbalanced, too rich, and despite all of that fat, wasn't even set enough. It needs a redo with meyer lemon and some strawberries. Nix the sesame seed oil.
