Sable Breton
- 1
Prepare Sable Breton
In a bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined. Press the dough into a tart pan and chill for at least 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20 minutes or until golden. Allow to cool.

Make Chocolate Filling
Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave until smooth. In another saucepan, heat the heavy cream and sugar until just simmering. Remove from heat and whisk in the melted chocolate and vanilla. Allow to cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs until fully incorporated. Pour the chocolate mixture over the cooled sable Breton crust and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes until just set. Let it cool completely.
Caramel

Prepare Caramel
In a saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Cook over medium heat, swirling the pan occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and turns a golden color. Remove from heat and carefully add the heavy cream and butter, stirring until smooth. Stir in the sea salt and let cool.

Make Banana Stracciatella Ice Cream
In a blender, puree the ripe bananas until smooth. In a large bowl, combine the banana puree, heavy cream, and sweetened condensed milk. Mix well. Fold in the dark chocolate chips or shavings. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until thick and creamy. Transfer to a container and freeze until firm.
