This recipe is largely inspired by the sweet tahini crunch at the heart of east-London bakery Farha’s mega-selling banana brulee pastry. The savoury depth of tahini tempers the heady, perfumed sweetness of ripe bananas, which can be a little cloying, and also works well with the deep caramel notes of Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference medjool dates and the brown butter.
