Shortcrust tart with bananas and chocolate – notes
Today I have for you a very simple and delicious chocolate banana tart in a rustic style – a so-called galette tart.
Its big plus is that you don’t need a tart pan, because it’s baked directly on the oven tray.
The dough itself is very easy to make and anyone can handle it, regardless of their skill level. Add your favorite chocolate – dark or milk – and ripe bananas, and you’ll get a delicious cake.
How to make a chocolate and banana tart?
We start by preparing the shortcrust pastry.
Roll out the dough into a fairly thin disc.
Spread chopped chocolate on the dough, and then sliced bananas on top.
Fold the ‘sides’ of the dough over the bananas (there’s a video under the recipe where everything is clearly visible).
The cake is quick, simple, and not too sweet.
In total, I used very little sugar for it. I put only a tablespoon of sugar in the dough, and I used dark chocolate.
So, basically, the sweetness comes mainly from the bananas and a little sugar sprinkled on top.
This warm chocolate banana tart tastes best with a scoop of ice cream, although it’s amazing even without it :)
I also invite you to try mini strawberry galette tarts and a rustic fig tart :D
P.S. Below the photos, you’ll find a video of the preparation of this tart – I encourage you to watch it :)

It's a shortcrust pastry, a shortcrust tart baked without using a mold. The dough is placed directly on baking paper and a baking sheet from the oven and baked that way.
