Crème Brûlée Banana Bread Recipe
Why settle for classic banana bread when you can elevate it with a delicious caramelized sugar topping? This Crème Brûlée Banana Bread is frosted with a simple cream cheese frosting that mimics the custard of a traditional crème brûlée, then topped with sugar to create a beautiful, crackly finish. It’s a fun and less temperamental alternative to making custard, perfect for using that kitchen torch you bought!
Ingredients
- Ripe bananas
- Cream cheese
- Sugar
- Eggs
- Flour
- Baking soda
- Vanilla extract
- Salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Banana Bread: Mash the ripe bananas in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and eggs until smooth. Combine the banana mixture with the cream cheese mixture.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Bake: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Frosting: Once cooled, frost the banana bread with cream cheese frosting.
- Caramelize the Sugar: Generously sprinkle sugar over the frosting and use a kitchen torch to caramelize it until it forms a crackly top.
Tips
- Ensure the frosting is fully covered with sugar for an even caramelized top.
- If you don’t have enough sugar, the frosting may burn instead of caramelizing.
Serving Suggestions
This banana bread can be made a day in advance. Just frost and caramelize the sugar right before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
