Method

Blitz the ginger cake into crumbs using a food processor and set aside.

Mix cream cheese, crème fraîche, double cream, icing sugar, and maple syrup, then ripple in the caramel and chill.

Melt 200g sugar until golden, coat banana chunks in it, and immediately drop into iced water to set.

Combine flour, salt, and 250g butter with fingertips, add iced water to form a marbled dough, then chill for 20 minutes.

Roll dough into a 40x20cm rectangle, fold into thirds, rotate, repeat, and chill for 30 minutes.

Perform two more rolling and folding turns, then chill for another 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 200°C and melt 115g sugar in small frying pans until golden, then stir in remaining butter and add sliced bananas.

Cover bananas with thin pastry circles and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden-brown.

Turn out tarts onto plates and serve with ginger crumbs, cheesecake mixture, caramelised bananas, and mint.
