1. Peel and cut 2 bananas in half lengthways. Put them cutside up on a roasting tray and sprinkle the caster sugar over. Blowtorch (or put them under a hot grill) until the sugar has caramelised then leave to cool for a few minutes.
2. Peel and mash the remaining bananas with a fork then mix with the lemon juice and honey.
3. Whisk the crème fraîche and yogurt together until smooth and thickened slightly. Fold in the crushed banana mixture and add half the crushed amaretti.
4. Put the caramelised bananas into 4 serving glasses (cut them in half if they're too long) and spoon the banana mixture over. Sprinkle with the remaining amaretti and drizzle with a little more honey to serve.

  really nice. probably didn't whisk the creme fraiche and yoghurt enough as it was a bit runny - also wasn't sure if it should be served cold but it was really tasty anyway!

  Instead of Amaretti biscuits can I use digestive biscuits?

  I found that as hard as I whisked the yogurt and creme fraiche it still wouldn't thicken enough. So I also felt it was too runny and also very sweet
