Step 1

<p>Preheat oven to 350°F.</p>

Step 2

<p>Crust: Add Maria cookies to food processor. Pulse until finely crushed. Transfer crushed cookies to medium bowl. Add butter and brown sugar; stir until combined. Press mixture into bottom and sides of eight 4-inch round tart pans.</p>

Step 3

<p>Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden, crisp and firm. Let cool completely before filling.</p>

Step 4

<p>Natilla Custard: Meanwhile, in medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until combined. Add cornstarch and whisk until a thick, velvety mixture forms.</p>

Step 5

<p>In small saucepan set over low heat, add lemon peel, milk and cinnamon. Heat mixture, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes or until just simmering. Remove from heat and discard lemon peel and cinnamon stick.</p>

Step 6

<p>Slowly ladle milk mixture into egg yolks mixture, whisking until combined. Ensure not to curdle eggs.</p>

Step 7

<p>Transfer custard to another small saucepan set over low heat. Whisk constantly for 5 to 10 minutes or until thickened, ensuring not to curdle eggs. Add bloomed gelatin and whisk until melted. Pass custard through fine-mesh sieve (discard solids) into another medium bowl.</p>

Step 8

<p>Assembly: Transfer dulce de leche to piping bag with corner snipped off and drizzle over baked crusts. Add layer of bananas, then top with custard. Smooth tops.</p>

Step 9

<p>Chill for 2 to 4 hours or until custard is well chilled, set and firm.</p>

Step 10

<p>Whipped Topping: Just before serving, using handheld electric mixer, whip cream until stiff peaks start to form. Beat in sugar.</p>

Step 11

<p>Transfer whipped topping to another piping bag fitted with desired tip. Pipe over tarts.</p> <p>Note: Garnish also with shaved chocolate or drizzle with melted chocolate if desired.</p>
