directions

Step 1

Blend together almonds, flour, sugar, zest and spices. Cut in butter until the texture of coarse meal.

Step 2

Stir together yolk, egg and brandy and blend into dough until it just comes together. Shape dough into a disc, wrap and chill for 2 hours.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 350.

Step 4

On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to just greater than 1/4-inch thick.

Step 5

Line a 10-inch tart shell with pastry, trim edges and chill 15 minutes.

Step 6

Dock pastry with a fork and bake for 20 minutes, until golden brown around the edges.

Step 7

Slice bananas and arrange in bottom of tart shell.

Step 8

Stir together condensed milk and brown sugar in a heavy-bottomed sauce pot.

Step 9

Have ready remaining ingredients. Whisking constantly over medium heat, cook condensed milk until it thickens, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in whipping cream, rum, vanilla and butter.

Step 10

Pour over bananas in tart and spread evenly. Chill for 30 minutes.

Step 11
