Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 500 ml Milk
- 40 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 medium Ripe bananas
- 200 ml Whipping cream
- 20 grams Icing sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a square baking dish (20x20 cm) with parchment paper.
To make the crust, combine all-purpose flour and granulated sugar in a large bowl. Add the cold unsalted butter and rub it into the dry ingredients with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Add the egg yolks and knead gently to form a dough. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish. Prick the surface with a fork and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden. Remove and let it cool completely.
To prepare the custard, whisk together the cornstarch, granulated sugar (50 grams), and a small amount of the milk in a bowl to create a smooth paste.
In a saucepan over medium heat, heat the remaining milk until it begins to simmer. Gradually whisk the hot milk into the cornstarch mixture.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming, then let it cool to room temperature.
Slice the bananas thinly and arrange them in an even layer over the cooled crust.
Pour the cooled custard over the bananas, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
In a separate bowl, whip the cream and icing sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the custard layer.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours to set before slicing into pieces and serving.
