Banana Chocolate Tart - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    100 g butter, softened
    200 g plain flour
    170 g caster sugar + 2 tbsp
    6 medium eggs
    200 g creme fraiche
    40 g custard powder
    3 small bananas
    2 tsp lemon juice
    100 g dark chocolate
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F. For the pastry, mix together the butter, flour, 3 tbsp sugar, 1 egg and a pinch of salt and knead until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for about 30 minutes. Roll between 2 layers of parchment paper to about 12 inch diameter then transfer to a greased 9 inch tart pan. Lightly press into the edges, cover with parchment paper and fill with dried beans to blind bake for about 15 mins.
    Meanwhile, whisk together remaining eggs, creme fraiche and the remaining sugar, reserving 2 tbsp. Stir in the custard powder until smooth then mash 1 banana with 1 tsp lemon juice and stir in.
    Remove the tart from the oven, remove the beans and paper and allow to cool for 10 mins. Melt chocolate in a bowl over a pan of hot water and spread on the base of the tart. Peel and slice 2 bananas, then sprinkle with 1 tsp lemon juice. Place these on the base of the tart then pour in the egg mixture. Return to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool for at least 1 hour in the pan before removing.
    When cooled, sprinkle 2 tbsp sugar over the top and place under a hot broiler to caramelize.
