Last week was working a menu for a hands on cooking party and decided the dessert had to be impressive and decadent. The catch was that it also had to be simple enough that the 20 guests attending the party could make it for themselves in less an hour. This Bruleed Banana Tartlet with Nutella Cream was my solution. It’s a knock-your-socks-off kind of dessert that is simple enough for a total amateur. If you’re really ambitious, you can make your own dough, but a good puff pastry or pasta frolla from the freezer section works perfectly. Once your dough situation is settled, the frangipane (its’s harder to spell than it is to make) is a snap and with that your work is basically done. <br /> <br />***Caution: I cannot be to blame if you find yourself standing in front of the fridge at midnight eating the left over nutella cream straight out of the tupperware. <br />- Chef James
