Sunny Anderson's Easy Banana Brûlée Fool

Chef notes

This is the dessert to turn to when you're in need of an easy crowd-pleaser. The simple technique of caramelizing the banana slices adds depth, dimension and texture to this prep-ahead treat.

Technique tips: Making this with room temperature heavy cream and mascarpone creates a creamier blend. If you don't have a kitchen torch, simply sugar the banana slices on a baking sheet lined with nonstick foil and place under your broiler. Make sure to watch the entire time — don't leave the oven!

Swap option: You can substitute with any fresh summer fruit you like and leave out the brûlée part.
