Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 2 medium Ripe bananas
• 5 large Egg yolks
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 4 tablespoons Brown sugar or granulated sugar (for caramelizing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

Step 2

Peel the bananas and mash them until smooth using a fork or food processor.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not let it boil.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the mashed bananas until well combined.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.

Step 6

Slowly pour the warm banana-cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to avoid curdling the eggs.

Step 7

Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into another bowl or pitcher to remove any lumps or banana fibers.

Step 8

Divide the custard evenly into 4 ramekins.

Step 9

Place the ramekins in a deep baking dish and pour hot water into the dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins (creating a water bath).

Step 10

Carefully transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Step 11

Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Step 12

Before serving, evenly spread 1 tablespoon of brown or granulated sugar over the surface of each custard.

Step 13

Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a golden, crackly crust. Alternatively, you can place the ramekins under a broiler for 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 14

Let the caramelized sugar cool for 1-2 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Banana Creme Brulee!
