Banana Trifles
This tasty trifle uses every last part of the banana for a waste-free treat.
Ingredients
- 4 medium overripe bananas peel on
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 tbsp banana bean paste
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- splash of rum or bourbon
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1 pound cake cut into cubes
- 1 medium banana sliced
- 1/2 cup candied peanuts chopped
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place overripe bananas on a baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and cool 15 minutes. Peel bananas, reserving both flesh and peels separately.
-
Combine roasted banana peels and cream in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium. Remove from heat, and cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Pour cream mixture through a fine wire-mesh strainer into the bowl of an electric stand mixer; discard peels. Set mixing bowl in a larger bowl filled with ice water. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until cream is cold.
-
Combine brown sugar and water in a large skillet over medium-high; bring to a simmer, and stir in butter. Add roasted banana flesh and rum; cook, stirring often, to cook off the alcohol, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in lemon juice to taste. Transfer banana mixture to a blender, and blend until smooth. Cool completely.
