Claire Saffitz Makes Banana Cream Tart | Dessert Person

[@CSaffitz]

Happy Holidays! What did you bake for the holidays?

[@bloodwolf2609]

I got both books for christmas, lots of cooking to come in my household!

[@_csl]

3 batches of brown butter sage sablés 😳

[@justchefana]

A Yule Log, a quiche, macarons and snickerdoodle cookies.

[@DeimosOne]

I made your chocolate coupes! big hit :)

[@chipbrodhead7146]

Your Sugar Cookes! They are the best sugar cookies ever, hands down. We made one batch as it is in your book, then another batch with the zest of one lemon creamed together with the butter and sugars for a lemony version 😻

[@colterhinckley9233]

Claire is my go to “I’m stressed and I need to relax” person. Like I feel stressed and my mind goes straight to “Watch Claire make a banana tart for 20 minutes”. It works every time.

[@floppy_hands1770]

Did u just fart?

[@KatherineCooper]

Finally, another use for overripe bananas besides banana bread!

[@demoncleaner331]

I made this for NYE and it was a big hit. Perfectly balanced and not too sweet. I decided to push the custard through a fine mesh strainer to make it even smoother. 10/10 will make again.

[@kayanncee8291]

I didn’t even get through the video because when Claire mentioned using peanuts and peanut butter in place of the sesame seeds and sesame oil I thought-OMG I’ll bet that is amazing! (Because we have all heard of peanut butter and banana sandwiches, right?!). Yum!

[@IsidroJoe]

Hi Claire! thank you so much for this wonderful recipe! It was very straightforward and i had no hiccups! You mos def were right about not fussing with the crust! I was getting too obsessed with getting the edges pressed! lol The cooking the custard was a test of patience, and yes it will seem like nothing is happening for a while but there is a quick turn around. you will immediately know when it thickens! I would only recommend that people just use a stand mixer or hand mixer for the whip topping, its just easier lol. The toasted sesame pairs so nicely with the sweetness of the banana (due to the over ripeness) and the sour cream whip provides a nice little bite that brings everything together. I wont even mention the crust, because you know how good it is....BUT adding those sesame seeds gave so much fun crunchy texture. I loved EVERYTHING about this recipe!! Thinking about trying a TSB of tahini instead of the sesame oil next time!!! Thank you thank you thank you!

[@laurentimko9834]

I got this book for Christmas and I already went through and marked all the recipes I want to try! I can’t wait to get started ❤

[@CSaffitz]

What will you make first?

[@laurentimko9834]

the cashew Blondies or the Meyer lemon Bundt cake! There are so many I marked so I’m going to be loaded with sweet😅

[@emmalord1123]

I've been putting sesame seeds in everything lately, esp apple desserts! I'm so excited to try this.

[@simhaup1]

I’m not a fan of the texture of bananas either but I love the taste of it. I’m definitely going to try this recipe. Great video Claire❤

[@ashleys9711]

This is DELICIOUS! Blending the banana versus dipping it in citrus and leaving it at the bottom is a game changer. The whipped cream with sour cream (and no added sugar) was the perfect topping as well! Thank you Claire!

[@kookykiddo]

Thursday’s are the best days 💕✨ thank you Claire and team!

[@TomIdelson]

Claire, I love you! and I love your mom for having you! You truly make this world a better place. 💖

[@ltaguian6677]

i’ve had a marathon of dessert person watching during the holidays and now that i’ve finished i don’t know what to do 😂😂 love you, Claire!!

[@mothmonarch9789]

I got Claire's Dessert Person book for Xmas and I couldn't be happier with a recipe book. I love all the adjustments made to keep it accessible and I'm so excited to try the recipes aaaaa!

[@sydneylikeAustralia4]

Dessert person is so textbook I have really blossomed as a home baker thanks to this book

[@dingleberry11222]

Claire, could you discuss the various "states of matter" for butter in different recipes. Why sometimes softened, others cold, others melted then cooled? I'd love to understand the principle behind it.

[@PullthaleverKronk]

Softened yields chewy, moist baked goods while melted makes for crisp textured good

[@jamesktucker979]

I was going to make this for Thanksgiving, but ran out of steam. I had very little steam for baking over Christmas, hopefully I can make this in January, and finally try the smoked sesame seed oil that is in my pantry. Thank you Claire for the incredible content, it elevates my baking life.

[@nicoles9373]

As a banana hater and Claire fan, I’ve never been so quickly disappointed after seeing a Dessert Person notification. Still enjoyed the video, looking forward to next week haha

[@mamaAimEC]

Lol funny. I know what you mean. I like seeing what she makes, but there are lots of things she makes that I don't care for. I don't like sesame seeds at all. I also don't like a hard crust bread or egg wash on ANYTHING.

[@debrascott8775]

I watched every minutes knowing, um, yeah, no. No banana no sesame. 😂

[@razrv3lc]

I was on board until the sesame seeds and oil but now I’m tentatively back on board with the idea of using peanut butter instead lol

[@LeaRe3d]

Me with corn recipes lmao

[@Nerfunkal]

Let's be friends and u give me the banana's though it's not like being a pickle hater where life gives you many opportunities to give away your pickles

[@Leann0688]

Love this videos layout and how questions get asked and it just feels like we get to hang out with you. Can't wait to try this. I'm not a fan of sesame so thank you for suggesting the PB! Also love that you shared the recipe. Looking to order the book now!

[@juliahusar]

I just had a week of winter break. Claire's videos are the only things reminding me what day it is.

[@thereseevans6672]

I had exactly two overripe . not enough for banana bread but just enough for this pie. I made it and it is absolutely delicious and I adore the addition of sesame.

[@thereseevans6672]

p.s. i could not find the bottom of my tart pan (i have teenagers so things disappear) so I made it in a pie pan that worked perfectly.

[@kristajmaruca6735]

I literally tried this right after watching!! The only thing I would do differently is to pare down the sesame oil, it’s too much and on the first taste it’s more like a banana sesame tart! I would halve it for more subtlety.

[@bobbyomari5500]

I was thinking the same. Sesame oil is very strong in flavor and I’d be worried the sesame oil flavor will be overwhelming in the final product

[@Carolll9]

@@bobbyomari5500 same, I’m surprised she put two teaspoons in there.

[@anzioa]

Good point, could always add 1tsp and taste it quick to see if you want more

[@savannahkohler8835]

I just made this and wanted to share! I love this recipe! When she says over ripe bananas, she means it because I tried the old stick the bananas in the oven trick but it didn’t give enough sweetness to the tart. Other than that I loved it!

[@RelaxAndSmokeMeth]

the oven trick can't replicate a truly ripened banana

[@anodien1983]

I would do this as a bannoffee 2.0! Put a very thin (shell-like) chocolate layer over the base, then the caramel with a touch of salt, then the banana custard and top it off with whipped cream and chocolate shavings!

[@shadowperson0456]

I am loving all of your content on KZbin at the moment. Thank you so much Claire! I wonder if we can see how the chickens are going?

[@zacr4664]

Hi Claire, I feel like you are the person who taught me to brown bananas in the oven and I wanted to thank you for that!

[@DanaFras84]

I made this last week and it was a massive hit!! Will be making it again, for sure.

[@nancyweinstock8456]

Yes! I have been looking for a banana pudding recipe that doesn't have those slimy banana slices! Will try this

[@nancyweinstock8456]

Made this with peanut butter and it was AWESOME. Didn't set up after being in the fridge overnight, so I put it in the freezer. Was really good, even when a little frozen!

[@priscilla5321]

Made this recipe! It's SO GOOD! Almost broke my arm whisking the heavy cream and sour cream but I made it through lol

[@dcastropty]

What a fascinating combination of banana and sesame. Love this.

[@melissadeyo4739]

Got the book for Christmas and I was planning on making this today before I saw the video! Perfect timing! Looks so tasty!

[@Keightnz]

I dont even bake/cook but watching/listening to claire is like podcast

[@CrownofRa]

I love that you call it a tart and not a pie.

[@MrsBrit1]

Because she made it in a tart pan. If it was made in a pie plate, it would be pie. Lol

[@myusernamewastaken_]

well…it’s in a tart pan…so 🫠

[@vidanarocacomraulerosa5130]

@@myusernamewastaken_ então é torta😂😂😂

[@mominetti]

I never tried a banana cream pie, it wasn’t anything special, really (even though I do eat bananas), but this version I like. I also like the fact it has a graham crust, and I am the same - always bake my graham crusts, always! The only thing I would try differently is that I would first caramelise bananas in a tiny bit of butter and sugar before I would purée them into pastry cream mixture (especially if bananas were not perfectly ripe yet). And also, the nut butter version with nuts instead of sesame sounds delicious too. Love love love your recipes Claire! Bought your first book, loved it and cannot wait to get the second one.

[@superpcstation]

Banana and cinnamon combo would be great

[@damned_1]

I’ve found that making my own graham cracker crumbs tastes so much better than the store bought graham cracker crumbs. That being said, your recipe looks delicious! 😅🥹🫶🏽

[@spotdogit]

Ok THIS is a banana cream I can get into. I’m gonna do a ginger snap crust as I love a snapper and don’t really care for graham or nillas. I’ll try the sesame first, but I also like the peanut idea. And omg the sour cream topping is perfect! Great job with this one, Claire! ❤

[@JvariW]

Did not know how much I missed this person until I saw Claire’s face. Wow. Miss the old gang from that place we won’t promote. So good to see you Claire

[@tanyaveness8203]

I use a pastry blender to mash bananas. It's really easy and fast, especially in a rounded bottom bowl. :)

[@EJHRB]

I love the mediterranean touch that Claire brings to her recipes!

[@lichh64]

I have literally got 7 of Claire's videos in my watch later playlist 😭

[@Looptydude]

My family is weird, they love bananas. They fight over my mom's banana cream cheese and nilla wafers dessert. They would probably love this too.

[@oussamaallaoua8041]

Nothing weird about that

[@nixnikoy09]

they're bananas for bananas 🤣

[@jiojiart]

I never felt more seen then when Claire said she loves banana flavour but not banana texture. ❤

[@madelineS98789]

Now what do I make? Paris-Brest or Banana Cream Tart! 😮 your making this NYE dessert a hard choice! Thank you for all the tips and tricks!

[@michaelprovenza7575]

I finally made this, came out really well the crust is divine. Next time I am going to halve the sesame oil though as it is a bit overpowering.

[@day2daychefmae]

i made your coconut cream pie a few times, that was a hit. i’m on the way to Ralph’s to get some sesame seeds to make this recipe. i’d trust claire with my life!

[@isaiahlee7343]

Received the second recipe book for Christmas can’t wait to try some new treats

[@rydrew]

I love using sesame oil for my food, I put it on my rice to spruce it up a bit or even just to add a bit more flavour to my instant ramen. TIL you can actually also use it for desserts?! such a versatile ingredient and I can’t wait to try this recipe out!

[@lethaabbott8065]

Just made this for dinner party it was delicious. Thanks Claire

[@filipekc]

Bananas are amazing! They are my favorite fruit! I pretty much eat them every other day, in many types of different ways! Hahaha

[@CC-hm8yl]

thanks for mentioning the gluten free option i feel so pleased thankyyy

[@jeanniesaltwaterla8718]

One of my favorite childhood desserts!!!

[@sidhedanu]

Cooking with my kids is amazing. Both boys love to help, & my 14 year old is trying new recipes all the time. Last night he helped measure ingredients for enchilada sauce, cut up cooked chicken, & assembled the enchiladas after I demonstrated 1. The 10 year old grated cheese. I love any help, considering no matter what I'm making it always seems to take 2-3 hours.

[@RAWRCHOMPSTOMP]

I would love to see crew eat some of your recipes & share their thoughts too!!

[@codygaffney8203]

Made this - it’s excellent. I might add just a touch more sugar next time (perhaps to the topping). I want to try the peanut butter version.

[@louisana]

I just backed your Pistacchio Polenta Pound Cake. It's currently cooling but I am so excited to taste it!

[@greccc]

a PUNCH of salt im stealing that thank you Vinny

[@crazywomancreek1]

I can't believe she's making it! I was going to comment on whatever last video inquiring when St. Claire was going to make a banana cream somethin' 'cause I had to make it for someone the other day. Nowwwww she's got up a video. So I have to make another one according to the Saint!

[@estelapereira6891]

i just love that me and claire are opposites, she's all in for soggy strawberries, apples, peaches, pineapples etc in desserts when i would literally die if i eat them in a cake/pie (i have a problem with textures so i always do the recipes without the actual pieces of fruit) and the only fruit that I'll eat whole in a dish is the one claire won't🤣

[@two_spirit_sun]

Just discovered your channel! You're so fun and these recipes look delicious!

[@mattwilson8298]

Fun fact: The Cavendish variety of banana, which are basically the only ones you get in U.S. supermarkets, are not actually ripe until they have significant spotting on the peel. She calls for "over-ripe" bananas but technically they're perfectly ripe.

[@RamiJames]

She's so adorable

[@ambra8957]

I hate pudding type desserts but this almost made me want to try It! Ah the power of Claire!

[@J-A-A-K]

Vietnamese banana fritters with sesame seeds and condensed milk is my favorite dessert

[@FreedomWriter3]

I'm not a banana person, but I really like banana nut bread/muffins. I would try this tart. It looks really pretty!

[@rickphilip6612]

I tried this recipe the peanut butter edition. Flavor wise- it’s amazing. I did add 200g less sugar because my bananas were overriped. But, you must increase the cornstarch because it will not be set. I let it set overnight and it still didn’t.

[@keira0jade]

‘I don’t bake with kids, never done it before’ - further proof that she’s my kinda chef 4:00

[@austinator0817]

How far ahead can I top the tart? I want to bring it to work but don't want to worry about a deflated whipped cream.

[@sadealonge7974]

Beautiful! Such a fun watch :)

[@rachelgreene1013]

Interesting combo of flavors. I love banana desserts tho

[@lolamentor]

Loved this version, will definitely try it out this Saturday! Though it left me a question: could the cooking heat affect in any way the banana flavor? If yes, then could the mashed banana be added after the pudding is cooked, and later blended?

[@julieblair7472]

Turkeys are my fave bird!!! A group of ladies walking around look like they are going to the opera in fancy coats.

[@LukePonds]

I cackle every time the verdict is anything other than "mmm"

Not a banana lover either but it is Claire so I watch.🙋🏻‍♀️

[@renar11d11]

Caramel baked pears. May the New year be full of fun!

looks interesting. Can't say I've ever thought of Bananas and sesame

I ordered your book a few days ago. Waiting for the delivery! This will be the first thing I make 😍🍌

[@laurenschenck5355]

Everything you make looks so beautiful and and wonderful ❤

[@iseetheWAYVision]

Love how the crew replies to her questions lol

[@rosakleopoulos4088]

Been getting everyone this cookbook

[@cellularautomaton.]

i finally got what's for dessert for chanukah, and i've just been reading it like a novel lmao

[@mahajan19neha]

I ordered the book a while ago. Love the recipes you share. Is there a temperature test one can do to avoid overcooking the eggs, instead of a visible thicker consistency?

[@debsokobin]

Hi Claire, since I have an aversion to sour cream, could I use Greek yogurt for the topping instead? Love your videos!!

[@EatCarbs]

Yeah... that looked great. Thanks for the video

[@laurenkiino5952]

I made this - flavors were great. My bananas were at the perfect for eating stage so I added 1T extra sugar, which worked well since the addition of the sesame oil made the flavor less sweet. Next time going to try the peanut butter version, which may work better. And the custard set was VERY soft. The crust did not hold together and was a crumbly mess. That combined with the super soft custard made for a very messy presentation.

[@aileenstauffer1697]

I had a similar very soft set custard too... About to try again- thinking of upping the cornstarch and cook slightly longer.. we'll see!

[@Rainydaylily]

I made this. It's wonderful and not difficult.

[@laurenschenck5355]

OMG! AMAZING Claire ❤❤❤

[@AussieAngeS]

I love bananas and that would taste so good but also really interesting and unusual with the sesame oil.

[@DarknessOurBride]

Tempted to try with tahini!

[@TheBereangirl]

I love pecans with bananas, sesame seeds are...interesting🤔, but I think I'm going to stick with pecans. I make a smooth banana pudding with cream cheese and butter cookies, the tang is amazing with banana.😋♥️

[@deejaydubla]

I'm making this recipe this weekend but thinking of replacing the sesame element with toasted coconut.

[@darktienou]

What's a good substitution for sour cream? Would crème fraîche with a bit of lemon juice be a good approximation?

[@got2bjosh]

I suggested meyer lemon as well. There is salt, some heat (not cooked long enough), (way too much full) fat, and no acid in this dish. The dessert is unbalanced, too rich, and despite all of that fat, wasn't even set enough. It needs a redo with meyer lemon and some strawberries. Nix the sesame seed oil.

[@KatherineCooper]

New life goal: have my cats featured on Dessert Person 😻

[@marisolnuno1028]

Quick question, could I substitute the sour cream for plain greek yogurt?

[@TalysAlankil]

i'm glad to know claire peels bananas the same way i do :')

[@mompreneurlife]

❤ mouthwatering, as usual.❤

[@blacktee64]

If you mix the corn starch with the sugar before adding to the wet ingredients, the sugar will carry the corn starch into the mixture as it dissolves and there won't be any lumps.

[@dragonrider9051]

You and Emma from Emma's Goodies would be an awesome duo to have a bake off

[@pbianca90]

Can’t wait to try ❤

[@kiwiyummyster]

How long can you keep the custard in the fridge without pouring it into the crust? 3d? If I poured the custard into the crust, how long can I keep that in the fridge before adding the whipped cream?
