Pour in half a glass of strong distillate - better than dark rum, but cognac is also fine. We set it on fire immediately. When the flame goes out by itself, we continue to fry the bananas for a couple of minutes to evaporate the excess liquid. We shift the dessert into portioned bowls and serve with a scoop of ice cream.

Caramelized bananas in batter

We put cloves, cinnamon and other spices with which it is customary to season mulled wine. Place the saucepan on medium fire... As soon as the wine starts to boil, reduce the flame to a minimum. Let all the spices fully unfold and convey their aroma to the wine. Remove the saucepan from the heat and filter its contents through a tea infuser. We put on a very small fire cast iron pan...

The benefits of the dish

As always, according to the tradition of KhozOboza, before proceeding directly to the recipe, we will find out how the ingredients of the proposed dish are useful because We care not only about the taste, but also the benefits of food. Immediately I would like to note that compared to salads or cereals, the benefits in the dessert are clearly less, and if you still remember that it passed heat treatment then it's not fun at all. However, be that as it may, a lot of good things still remain in it, and all thanks to bananas, which, as you understood from the name, are the main ingredient of our dessert.

What are bananas, vitamins in bananas useful for?

First of all, they are rich in such useful and necessary vitamins for everyone, including:

• Vitamin C which by its nature is the most powerful antioxidant and retains beauty and youth. Moreover, according to experts, normal vital functions of the body are simply impossible without vitamin C. This is because ascorbic acid (the second name for vitamin C) must enter the human body every day, because it is not synthesized in it. At the same time, the benefits of this vitamin are truly enormous: it normalizes the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, and also promotes the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid. In addition, vitamin C increases the strength and integrity of bone and cartilage. Vitamin C is also responsible for the synthesis of hemoglobin and regulates the metabolism of cholesterol, as well as many amino acids.
• Vitamin B- also an integral part of the composition of bananas. We remind you that this vitamin is especially important and necessary for women, because most of it is lost during "critical days". However, in organism this vitamin is simply irreplaceable because it gives us calmness and poise, excellent sleep, and healthy skin and hair.
• Vitamin E- this is the so-called vitamin of youth. It is he who gives the skin smoothness and freshness and ensures the long life of the cells.

Carotenes

Carotenes are substances that today scientists have counted at least 300. Some of them are provitamins that are converted into vitamin A in the body, there are about 60 of them, others do not have this ability. The main function of carotenes is protective. Moreover, the task of carotenes is simply to prevent free radicals from destroying the structure of a healthy cell. human body... In the case of carotenes, there is one rule - they must be eaten regularly, because it is impossible to stock them up for use. And as you understood from the above, with a shortage of kerotin, the body becomes simply defenseless. The result is illness and ailment.

Trace elements

Trace elements, too, should not be discounted, because there are plenty of them in bananas. Among those, it should be noted: potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium, phosphorus, etc. Each trace element has its own area of ​​responsibility and its purpose, but they are all equally important and necessary for our body. And the fact that they are present in bananas only adds extra points to them.

There is a belief that thanks to our facts about bananas, you are now confident that dessert can be useful even with the addition of sugar. Of course abuse simple sugars not worth it, because they are the right way to overweight, but as an infrequent delicacy, and even in combination with useful products like a banana is quite permissible.

Ingredients for caramelized bananas

• Bananas - 3 pcs.
• Sugar - 2-3 tablespoons
• Butter - about 35 gr
• Water - 100 ml
• Cinnamon and other spices to taste.

Fried bananas - cooking

1. First of all, you need to take a frying pan and put it on the fire to warm up.
2. Put butter in a frying pan and let it melt completely.
3. As soon as the butter melts, you need to add sugar to it. You should experiment with the amount of sugar. Someone likes it sweeter, but someone wants to minimize sugar. Choose for yourself.

   

4. Now you need to let the sugar melt while doing this. oil mixture should thicken a little.
5. As soon as this happens, hot water should be added.

   

6. The sauce should turn into a smooth, fairly viscous syrup.
7. Now we take bananas and peel them.
8. Next, the bananas should be cut into slices.

   

9. After that, it's time to put the bananas in a skillet in caramel.

   

10. When the bananas are already fried, wait until they are browned on one side and turn over to the other.
11. Now when the bananas are turned upside down, sprinkle them with cinnamon and other spices you like.
12. Then you need to reduce the heat and let the bananas simmer in the sauce for about 3 minutes.

    

At the end, you can pour over them with cognac and set them on fire so that all the fruits are caramelized with a crispy crust. In this case, you will get a flambé. We did not do this because we were preparing bananas as a sauce for pancakes and the crust was useless. However, if we are talking about ice cream or self-serving, then this option will be quite appropriate. Otherwise, it's all a matter of your taste and preferences. Thus, for example, you can try to cook apples or pears, or you can mix apples and bananas. By the way, if you combine several fruits of different density, such as bananas and apples, then the harder ones should be put first, and almost at the end such soft ones as bananas should be put.

We wish you sweet meals, good mood and new culinary achievements. We hope that the recipe will be a good lifesaver for you both for social events and for quiet home dinners. We always try to choose only the best and most delicious for you. HozOboz is always happy to help and advise - write - we will answer. Your faithful friend and advisor HozOboz.

Praline: Prepare the praline mass as follows. Roast the nuts (kernel) and peeled almonds in the oven until golden brown; remove the husk by rubbing the nuts between your palms. I use almond flakes - they don't need to be peeled and they are better wrapped in caramel. Put the fried nuts and sugar in a small (not tinned) saucepan, put on low heat and stir with a wooden spatula until the sugar melts and turns a light yellow color. Carefully place the hot sticky mixture on a baking sheet covered with lightly oiled foil and cool. After cooling, the mixture will turn into a hard glassy lump, which must be crushed in a mortar and passed several times through a meat grinder with a fine mesh. Skipping the mass for the penultimate time, add cocoa powder to it (I did not use cocoa). Transfer the finely ground praline mass into a tightly sealed glass jar, from which to take the mass as needed.

Put 1 sponge cake on the bottom of the mold. Now fill in 1/3 curd cream and put it in the refrigerator so that the cream grabs (for about 30 minutes). Store the remaining cream at room temperature so that he does not freeze. We cut 1 large banana (it is indicated in the ingredients for decoration) into 4-5 mm thick mugs.

Prepare the praline mass in the following way.

Roast the nuts (kernel) and peeled almonds in the oven until golden brown; remove the husk by rubbing the nuts between your palms. I use almond flakes - they don't need to be peeled and they are better wrapped in caramel.

Put the fried nuts and sugar in a small (not tinned) saucepan, put on low heat and stir with a wooden spatula until the sugar melts and turns a light yellow color. Carefully place the hot sticky mixture on a baking sheet covered with lightly oiled foil and cool. After cooling, the mixture will turn into a hard glassy lump, which must be crushed in a mortar and passed several times through a meat grinder with a fine mesh.

Preheat the oven to 200 0 С.

Separate the white from the yolk. Beat the yolk with praline and hot water. Beat the protein with a pinch of salt into a stable foam. Now put the yolk mixture in a bowl with protein, add flour and starch.

Gently but confidently mix and spread the resulting dough into a mold (20 cm in diameter) covered with parchment.

We bake for 8-10 minutes. Let it cool. Ideally, the biscuit should stand for 8 hours (wrapped with cling film to prevent drying out), then it will not crumble when cut.

We cut the biscuit into 2 parts.

Caramelized bananas:

Cut the banana into large pieces and place it in an empty mold (18cm in diameter) to measure the required number of bananas. I got 5 bananas. We take another one, since during caramelization they diminish slightly in volume.

Put butter and sugar in a frying pan. As soon as the sugar dissolves, put the bananas and fry for literally 30 seconds on each side. While you have flipped all the bananas, you need to flip again to the next side. You need to fry from all sides. Set aside and let cool.

Curd yoghurt cream jelly:

I make vanilla sugar myself. To do this, I put a split vanilla pod in a jar of sugar. All used pods (without seeds, I mean) I also put in this jar.

Dissolve gelatin in milk.

Collect the caramel from the bananas.

Mix all the ingredients (including the milk and gelatin) for the cream and whisk with an immersion blender or food processor. It is better to beat with a nozzle with knives, and not a whisk, so the mass will be more homogeneous.

Assembly:

I cover the form with parchment, and the sides cling film, so it will be easy to remove the cake from the mold.

Cut the sponge cake around the edges to the diameter of the mold (18cm). Do not discard the cuttings. Set aside and while we cook the cake, they will dry out. Put 1 sponge cake on the bottom of the mold.

Now fill in 1/3 of the curd cream and put it in the refrigerator so that the cream grabs (for about 30 minutes). Store the remaining cream at room temperature so that it does not freeze.

We cut 1 large banana (it is indicated in the ingredients for decoration) into circles 4-5mm thick. They will decorate the sides of the cake.

We take out the cake form from the refrigerator. We spread circles along the walls fresh banana and fill the form with caramelized bananas.
Fill in the remaining cream.


Gently place the remaining cake on top. And put it in the refrigerator so that the cream grabs (for about 30 minutes).

Topping:

Dissolve the gelatin in water.

We clean the banana. We crumple it with a fork. And simmer with sugar in a frying pan until the banana acquires a beautiful beige-brown hue.

Caramelized banana puree we send it to the blender bowl and add the loose gelatin. Beat with an immersion blender until smooth. If there is no hand blender, then puree can be rubbed through a sieve and mixed with gelatin using a whisk.

Cover the cake with topping. And put the cake in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours so that the cream hardens well.

Decoration:

Before serving the sponge cake and praline trimmings, grind into crumbs in a blender. Sprinkle over the edges of the top of the cake. So that the sprinkling lies evenly, the center can be covered with a plate smaller or a piece of paper. But do not press it against the cake, otherwise marks will remain on the topping. If this happens, dust the unevenness with crumbs.

Optionally, the cake can be decorated with physalis berries.

Enjoy your tea!
