Tartlets

⅔ cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar

6 tablespoons (¾ stick) unsalted butter, room temperature

2 large egg yolks

2 tablespoons unbleached all purpose flour

⅔ cup finely chopped lightly salted roasted peanuts

1 17.3-ounce package frozen puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed

1 egg, beaten to blend

4 bananas, peeled, thinly sliced into rounds

ICE CREAM: Bring cream and half and half to simmer in heavy medium saucepan. Add peanuts. Cover; remove from heat and let stand 30 minutes.

Strain cream mixture through sieve set over large bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard peanuts. Whisk in sugar and egg yolks. Return to saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until custard thickens and leaves path on back of spoon when finger is drawn across and instant-read thermometer registers 160°F to 165°F when inserted into custard, about 4 minutes (do not boil). Strain into medium bowl. Chill uncovered until cold. Transfer custard to ice-cream maker and process according to manufacturer’s instructions. Transfer ice cream to container. Mix in brittle. Cover and freeze until firm.

DO AHEAD: Can be made 3 days ahead. Keep frozen.

TARTLETS: Preheat oven to 350°F. Using electric mixer, beat ⅔ cup sugar and butter in medium bowl until well blended. Beat in egg yolks. Mix in flour, then nuts. Set peanut cream aside.

Unfold pastry onto work surface. Cut each pastry sheet into 4 squares; pierce all over with fork. Place 4 pastry squares on each of 2 baking sheets, spacing apart. Brush egg over pastry. Spread 2 tablespoons peanut cream over each, leaving ½-inch plain border. Arrange bananas in overlapping slices atop peanut cream. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.

Bake tartlets until crusts are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Transfer to plates. Serve warm with ice cream.
