“A banana and caramel treat we always have over the holidays although the ingredients can be made ahead and ready for unexpected guests. The caramel keeps in the refrigerator for months in the can covered with plastic wrap. Bake the tart shells ahead and keep them in an airtight container in the freezer. Now all you need to get are the bananas and whipped cream.”
