Tart Dough

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and cold butter. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
• Add Water: Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
• Shape the dough into a disc and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Filling

• Peel the bananas and mash them slightly for a smoother texture.
• in a pan , add butter and banana with cocoa powder, sugar, and vanilla essence. This mixture will be the filling for your tart.

Baking

• Preheat your oven to 180°C.
• On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 3-5 mm thick.
• Line the tart shell with the dough and gently press it into the corners.
• Use a fork to poke holes in the bottom of the dough to prevent it from puffing up during baking.
• Spoon the banana mixture into the lined tart shells, spreading it evenly.
• Roll out any remaining dough and cut it into strips to create a lattice pattern over the top of the banana filling.
• Brush the lattice top with a little milk to give it a nice golden color when baked.
• Place the tarts in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
• This tart is more than just a dessert; it’s a nostalgic reminder of life’s simple joys and the moments we share with those we love. Whether you enjoy it with a cup of tea or savor it on its own, each bite brings back sweet memories that make you smile.
