Cover and let soak for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease six 4-ounce ramekins;
place on a baking sheet.
1 medium banana,
mashed
After 1 hour, give the pudding mixture a stir and
divide evenly among the ramekins.
Bake until golden brown, 35-40 minutes.
Makes 6 servings.
Thaw puff pastry at room temperature for 40 minutes,
or until it’s easy to handle.
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Unfold pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut into
3 strips along fold marks. Cut each strip into 2 rectangles
and place 2 inches apart on a baking sheet. Bake for
15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the
baking sheet and cool on a wire rack.
Beat together mascarpone and honey until fluffy.
Gently stir in diced figs and whipped topping.
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, lime juice and
confectioners’ sugar for the glaze.
Split each pastry into 2 layers. Divide and spread the
fig mixture on 6 bottom pastry layers. Add the top
layers and a slice of fig. Drizzle the glaze over all and
sprinkle with lime zest. Makes 6 servings.
Tip: You can substitute 6 ounces of soft cream
cheese, mixed with 2 tablespoons milk or cream, for
the mascarpone.
