These little tarts pair a crisp shortbread shell with a layer of ripe banana and dulce de leche. Each one is crowned with a smooth caramel mousse dome that glitters under a coat of gold mirror glaze. Think of them as a banoffee-style dessert dressed up for a celebration.

The mousse comes together quickly, so weigh everything before you start. Whip the cream only to soft peaks. You want it slightly pourable so it flows evenly into the dome moulds and settles without air pockets. Freezing the domes overnight is what makes the finish work. A frozen dome releases cleanly from the silicone and holds its shape while you pour the glaze over and lift it into the tart.

Three Polen Food Oceania products make this recipe simple. Vizyon Neutral Charlotte Powder, mixed with water and stirred through the whipped cream, gives the mousse the structure to hold a clean dome. Vizyon Caramel Concentrated Pastry Paste adds caramel colour and flavour in a small dose, and you can adjust it to taste. Vizyon Gold Glamour Mirror Glaze is ready to use, so a good shake is all it needs before it goes over the domes and gives them their shimmer.

The recipe

Caramel Mousse Gold Tarts

Method

Caramel Mousse

  1. Weigh out all the ingredients for the mousse as these will need to be mixed quickly in succession.
    Firstly, whip the cream until it forms soft peaks - don’t overwhip it as you will want it slightly pourable to enable you to be able to fill the moulds evenly.

  2. Using a whisk, mix the Neutral Charlotte powder and water together until all the powder is incorporated and the mix becomes runny. Then pour the charlotte mix into the whipped cream and stir through.

  3. Take approximately 10g of Caramel Concentrated Paste (depending on your preferred strength of taste) and fold into the mousse cream mixture. The mix should take on a caramel colour and taste from the paste.

  4. Pour the mousse mix into the silicone dome moulds and refrigerate freeze overnight.

Assembling

  1. Next day - Cut a banana into 30 thin slices, each about 3mm thick. Place 5 slices of banana into the bottom of each shortbread tart casing, fanning them out to cover the base.

  2. Warm the Dulce de Leche spread in a microwave until it's spreadable but not runny. Spoon a dollop of Dulche de Leche into the tart shells on top of the banana slices and then spread out evenly.

  3. Prepare a wire rack with drip tray underneath. Demould the caramel mousse domes from the silicone tray onto the wire rack.

  4. Take the Vizyon Ready to Use Gold Glamour Mirror Glaze botte and shake vigorously for 10 seconds before pouring over the Caramel Mousse domes, letting the glaze cover the dome.

  5. Using an offset metal spatula, carefully lift the glazed dome from the wire rack and place into the filled tart casing.

  6. Decorate with edible dried flowers or chopped chocolate pieces on top.
