Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml whole milk
- 50 g caster sugar
- 3 egg yolks
- 10 g cornflour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 bananas
- 15 g unsalted butter
- 30 g brown sugar
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it just begins to steam. Do not let it boil.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the caster sugar, egg yolks, and cornflour until smooth and pale.
Gradually pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. This should take 5-7 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Cover the custard with cling film or a lid to prevent a skin from forming and set aside.
Peel and slice the bananas into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until it has melted and formed a caramel sauce, about 2 minutes.
Add the banana slices to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until caramelized and lightly golden.
Divide the caramelized bananas between two serving bowls and pour the warm custard over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy your hot custard and bananas.
