Preparation
Bottom
1. Put all tart crust ingredients into a food processor and pulse several times until it forms a dough. Remove the dough from the machine and knead until it forms a homogeneous dough. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.
2. Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).
3. Roll out the dough and line the baking pan.
4. Blind bake the crust for about 15 minutes. Remove the baking weights from the pan and return the crust to the oven for about 5 minutes or until the crust turns a beautiful golden brown. Take the crust out of the oven and let it cool.
Filling
1. In a pan, combine sugar, honey, cornstarch, salt, and half of the milk. Place on medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
2. In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks and the other half of the milk. Pour a portion of the boiling milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture and stir to combine. Then pour the egg yolk mixture back into the milk mixture in the pan, and bring it to a boil again. Let it simmer until it thickens. Remove from heat, place in an ice bath, and stir in the butter and vanilla. Allow to cool further.
3. Whip the heavy cream until it's fairly stiff, and then gently fold it into the cooled custard. Spread this mixture over the crust.
4. Cut the bananas in half lengthwise and then cut each half in half. Place them, cut side up, into the custard.
5. Sprinkle with cane sugar and use a torch to brûlée the sugar until it melts and forms a hardened shell. Finish with a drizzle of honey and some grated coconut.
Enjoy your delicious treat!
