- 1/3 cup (45g) Coles Salted Peanuts
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 100g butter, melted
- 500g mascarpone
- 1/2 cup (125ml) pouring (pure) cream or thickened cream
- 1/3 cup (75g) brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tbs bourbon whiskey (optional)
- 3 large bananas, thinly sliced
Maple caramel
- 1/4 cup (60ml) maple syrup
- 20g butter, chopped
- 1/2 tsp sea salt flakes
- 1 tbs bourbon whiskey (optional)
- 2 1/2 tbs pouring (pure) cream or thickened cream
Method
STEP 1
To make maple caramel, cook maple syrup in a small saucepan over high heat for 2-3 mins or until the syrup thickens slightly. Remove from heat. Stir in butter and salt. Stir in the whiskey, if using, and cream. Place in the fridge to chill.
STEP 2
Grease a 22cm (base measurement) fluted tart tin with removable base and line the base with baking paper. Place the biscuit, peanuts and cinnamon in a food processor. Process until finely crushed. Add the butter and process until combined. Spoon into the prepared pan and use a straight-sided glass to spread and press the biscuit mixture over the base and side of the tin. Place in the fridge for 30 mins to chill.
STEP 3
Use an electric mixer to beat the mascarpone, cream, sugar and whiskey, if using, in a bowl until firm peaks form.
STEP 4
Transfer biscuit base to a plate. Spoon half the mascarpone mixture into the base. Top with half the banana. Repeat with the remaining mascarpone mixture and remaining banana. Drizzle with maple caramel to serve.
