🥧 How To Make Gordon Ramsay Banana Tarte Tatin

  1. Warm your oven up to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.
  2. Put your butter cubes in a strong baking tray with deep sides that is about 19 cm x 30 cm. Set the pan over low heat and let the butter melt. Then add the sugar and keep stirring until everything is well mixed. You should keep cooking for another 5 minutes, or until all the sugar has melted and the mixture is golden and caramelized.
  3. When this happens, the mixture will be very hot, so be very careful and DON’T put your fingers in it, because you’ll get a bad burn.
  4. At the same time, carefully place the banana halves on top of the golden caramel after peeling them. Take it off the heat and add the cinnamon and orange zest that has been finely grated.
  5. Sprinkle flour on a clean work area and the rolling pin. Spread your dough out flat, but instead of rolling it out, lay it on its side and roll it out from there. This will make the structure lighter and crispier. You need to roll it out until it’s about 0.5 cm thick and the same size as your tray.
  6. Place the dough over your rolling pin and carefully place it on the baking sheet. Carefully tuck the dough around the bananas to make sure there are no holes.
  7. Prick the dough a few times with a knife or fork. Heat the oven and put the tray on top of it. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until brown.
  8. If you don’t take your tarte Tatin out of the oven right away, it will stick to the baking sheet. Once more, be very careful not to burn yourself on that hot caramel mixture. To take the tarte off the pan, put a folded tea towel over your hand, hold it carefully with a serving plate or board on top, and turn it over slowly.
  9. Pull up a corner of the dough with the tip of a knife to see if the bottom is fully cooked. If not, put it back in the oven for a few more minutes and then carefully remove it from the baking sheet.
  10. Use crème fraiche. Put it in a bowl, add the rest of the orange zest, and stir it well. Put a few tablespoons of dried coconut on a plate and quickly roll an ice cream scoop in it until it’s covered. This works best with vanilla ice cream.
  11. Add a dab of crème fraiche or covered ice cream to your tarte tatin and eat it right away!

💭 Recipe Tips

  • Caramel Consistency: Ensure the caramel is golden and not too dark to avoid bitterness. A medium amber color is ideal for the perfect balance of sweetness.
  • Banana Placement: Arrange bananas neatly for a visually appealing result. They should be slightly overlapping to cover the entire surface.
  • Adding Flavors: Be gentle with cinnamon and orange zest to not overpower the banana flavor. They should complement, not dominate.
  • Rolling Puff Pastry: Keep the pastry cold before rolling. This ensures it becomes light and flaky when baked.
  • Baking: Watch the tarte closely in the oven. The pastry should be golden brown, and the caramel bubbling around the edges.
  • Removing from Oven: Use a tray slightly larger than the baking dish to flip the tarte tatin. This prevents caramel spillage and ensures safety.
