For the crust beat butter with sugar and vanilla until fluffy, beat in the egg and then add the flour. Shift in the cocoa powder and give the dough a quick stir until the ingredients are well combined. Refrigerate for an hour and meanwhile prepare the bottom filling. Slice the bananas and put the sugar in a pan over high heat . When the sugar starts to melt move a few times the pan so that the caramel spreads and doesn't burn locally and when it gets a dark orange color add the bananas and caramelize.

After an hour in the fridge remove the dough and roll it enough to fit a 12cmx26cm form or a pan with the same area. Cover with foil and rice or beans and bake at a preheated oven to 170C for 15min. Then remove the covering and put it back in the oven for 10 more minutes. Meanwhile prepare the cream filling by simply bringing all the ingredients together and when the crust is done, spread a layer of caramelized bananas on the bottom and cover with the cream. Continue baking at 180-190C for about 25min, remove and let it completely cool.


For the chocolate mousse make again a caramel with the sugar and add in consecutively the butter and milk. When the mixture is homogenous bring the chopped bananas to the saucepan and cook until the fruit has soften. Remove from the heat, let cool for a while and add the chocolate. Smooth with a blender and when the mixture has completely cooled, fold in the whipped cream. Refrigerate the mousse until set, cut the tart to individual pieces and garnish them on top with the chocolate mousse.
