Creamy, indulgent, and utterly irresistible—layers of velvety cream, caramelized bananas, and delicate sponge soaked in caramel goodness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the caramel sauce:
    • 1/2 cup brown sugar
    • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
    • 1/4 cup heavy cream
    • Pinch of salt
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the dessert layers:
    • 2 cups mascarpone cheese
    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 pack ladyfingers or sponge cake
    • 3 ripe bananas, sliced
  • For garnish:
    • Cocoa powder
    • Caramelized banana slices (optional)
    • Chopped walnuts or crushed pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the caramel sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and bring to a simmer. Add heavy cream and salt, cooking for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Let cool.
  2. Whip mascarpone, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until thick and creamy.
  3. Slice bananas and set aside.
  4. Layer the dessert: In a shallow dish, quickly dip ladyfingers into the caramel sauce (don’t soak, just a quick dip).
  5. Layer the soaked ladyfingers in a dish, followed by a layer of mascarpone cream, and then a layer of sliced bananas. Repeat the layers until you run out.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to let the flavors meld together.
  7. Just before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder, and optionally add caramelized banana slices and chopped nuts.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm bananas for a better texture.
  • Let the tiramisu sit overnight for the best flavor.
  • Add a little rum or coffee liqueur to the caramel sauce for an adult twist.
