Easy Banana Pudding Tiramisu
An easier take on Brandon’s Banana Pudding Tiramisu from Top Chef ™ 23. The fiddly cooked sabayon is swapped for a quick no-cook mascarpone cream that doubles as both layer and topping, and the oven-roasted bananas give way to a single stovetop caramelised banana compote. Espresso-dipped vanilla wafers keep the tiramisu soul intact, with far less hands-on time.
