Expert Tips
- Use Firm, Ripe Bananas: If the bananas are too soft, they'll become mushy when you torch them, so opt for ripe but firm ones.
- Be Generous with the Sugar: A good layer of sugar ensures a thick, crunchy brûlée, so don't be afraid to cover the surface completely.
- Move the Torch Consistently: Keep the torch moving in slow circles to evenly melt and caramelize the sugar without burning any spots.
- Serve Immediately: The caramelized topping will stay crisp for a short while, so it's best to serve the bananas right away while they still have that beautiful crunch.
