Banana Tarte Tartin with Sticky Toffee Sauce

Serves 6
448 calories per portion

375g ready-rolled puff pastry
4 ripe bananas
150g toffee sauce
single cream or vanilla ice cream, to serve

Preheat the oven to 200, gas mark 6.  Lightly grease a round cake or tarte tatin tin.  Unroll the puff pastry and cut out a circle to fit the tin.
Peel and cut the bananas into slices, then lay them inside the base of the tin.  Pour over the toffee sauce, evenly covering the bananas slices.
Place the circle of pastry over the bananas, tucking it loosely round the edges so steam can escape.
Bake for 20-25 mins, or until the pastry is puffed and golden.  Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
Then, using an oven glove to protect your hands, place a serving dish on top of the tin and, holding them firmly together, turn upside down to invert the tarte.  Carefully remove the tin.
Scrape any remaining sauce in the tin over the tarte tatin.  Serve immediately with chilled single cream or ice cream.
