Preparation

Step 1

1.Preheat the oven to 425°. Unfold the puff pastry and cut out six 4-1/2-inch rounds; prick all over with a fork. Transfer the rounds to a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet. Cover with a sheet of parchment paper and set another baking sheet on top. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer the rounds to a rack to cool.

2.In a small nonstick skillet, toast the almonds until fragrant, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the brown sugar, honey, molasses, butter, cinnamon and cloves. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until thick, about 5 minutes.

3.Spread the dulce de leche evenly over the cooled pastry rounds. Arrange the banana slices in an overlapping circle on top and spoon the caramelized almonds over the bananas.
