How to Make Banana Posset Brûlée

1. Prepare the Banana Shells For a fun presentation, cut bananas lengthwise and carefully scoop out the flesh to create shallow shells. Leave a little banana pulp for added texture.
2. Heat the Cream In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and sugar. Stir constantly until the sugar fully dissolves.
3. Incorporate the Flavors Lower the heat and add the banana purée and lemon juice. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean and stir them into the mixture. Ensure everything is well blended.
4. Fill and Chill Pour the posset mixture into the banana shells or other serving vessels. Refrigerate for at least two hours to allow the mixture to set.
5. Caramelize the Sugar Once the posset is chilled, sprinkle a thin layer of sugar on top of each portion. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden brown and crisp.
6. Serve and Enjoy Your Banana Posset Brûlée is now ready to be served. Enjoy it chilled with a crisp sugar topping that adds a delightful contrast to the creamy base.

Tips for the Perfect Banana Posset Brûlée

• Use Ripe Bananas: Fully ripe bananas provide the best flavor and sweetness for the dessert.
• Lemon Juice is Key: It balances the sweetness and prevents the banana purée from browning.
• Alternative Serving Ideas: If banana shells aren’t available, ramekins, small jars, or even hollowed-out citrus fruits work beautifully.
• No Torch?: Caramelize the sugar under a broiler, but keep a close eye to avoid burning.

Make Banana Posset Your Own

• Add a Crunch: Sprinkle crushed nuts, like pecans or walnuts, on top of the caramelized sugar for added texture.
• Infuse More Flavor: Enhance the dessert with a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg in the posset mixture.
• Pair with Chocolate: Drizzle melted chocolate over the brûlée topping for an extra layer of indulgence
