Remarks
You will notice that in stage 4 no sugar is added to the apples. There reall is no need, as the Macvin du Jura is already plenty sweet enough, as is the hazelnut buttercream filling.

[Translator's note: I chose to keep the French name, but I was so tempted to call this "Jurassic Tart"!].

The trick of this recipe is to end up with bananas caramelised on the outside, still firm on the inside, coated with a tasty syrup which is not 95% butter.

Crème brulée
Crème brulée
Crème brûlée (burned cream) is quite easy to prepare: it's a simple egg-cream dessert. The only difficulty is in making the delicious crunchy caramel layer on top. The perfect crème brulée (for me) is a cold and soft cream, with on top a nice hot caramel crust. This is a completely new version of the former recipe, with video.

  • Hi,
    You could use something not to high in alcohol and sweet. I guess you are out of France, but if you have access to liquor like Muscat, Banyuls, Porto or Marsala, it will be good second choice.
    Of course, it will be better with Macvin!
