Smart Staple: Keep a box of puff pastry, which is the base for the sundae puffs, stashed in the freezer and you’ll always be ready to make a decadent dessert.
Everyday Food editor Sarah Carey shows you how to turn frozen puff pastry and seasonal fruit into a sweet treat that makes any occasion a special one.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Yield: Serves 6
Ingredients
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed and cut into six 3 1/2-inch rounds
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
Coarse salt
4 firm-ripe bananas, thinly sliced
1 pint vanilla ice cream
1/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place puff pastry rounds, 2 inches apart, on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until golden and puffed, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
Meanwhile, in a medium pot, combine corn syrup, cream, butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and pinch of salt; bring to a boil, whisking, over medium-high. Remove fudge sauce from heat and let cool slightly. (To store, refrigerate in an airtight container, up to 2 months.) Top each pastry with bananas, ice cream, sauce, and walnuts.
