Caramelized bananas:
1 bunch ripe bananas
227 g Sugar
Crumble:
100 g butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
146 g sugar
116 g cake flour
116 g ground almonds

Preparation method:
1) Prepare aluminum cups for baking.
2) To prepare the caramel, add a little sugar to a pan and let it melt in a medium-hot pan. Continue adding the sugar, allowing each portion to fully melt before adding the next. Continue until all the sugar has been added and the caramel has reached its desired colour.
3) Add the bananas, coating it with the caramel until it has nicely browned and coated.
4) To prepare the crumble, mix together all the ingredients except the butter in a mixing bowl.
5) Add the butter one piece at a time, rubbing it together with the flour until it resembles course grains of sand. Continue adding until all the butter has been added.
6) Lay half of the aluminum cup with the bananas and top with the crumble until it is filled.
7) Bake in the oven at 180 degrees until the tops have turned brown and the crumble is cooked through.
8) Remove from the oven and dust with snow powder.
9) The crumble may be served warm or chilled.
