Dessert as runway: banana-plane on lime coulis with sharp raspberry gel.
A tense dessert: a diagonal banana as a plane on a tart lime coulis runway, with a sharp raspberry gel as a warning line. The plating depicts the airport arrest moment, the banana as the just-landed plane.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 limes (juice and zest)
- 50 g sugar
- 200 g raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 4 tbsp Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp honey
- 8 mint leaves
Method
- Juice the limes. Mix lime juice with 30 g sugar and bring to a boil. Simmer for 2 minutes into a syrup. Let cool.
- Blend raspberries with lemon juice and 20 g sugar. Sieve for a smooth gel.
- Halve the bananas lengthwise. Place one half on each plate diagonally, as a landing airplane.
- Spoon lime coulis as a broad stripe (runway) under the banana.
- Draw a sharp raspberry gel line across the runway as a warning line.
- Scoop a quenelle of yogurt next to the runway, drizzle with honey.
- Garnish with lime zest and mint leaves.
Serving notes
- Serve cold for extra sharp flavors.
- Add extra lime juice for more tension.
