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
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it just begins to steam. Do not let it boil.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the caster sugar, egg yolks, and cornflour until smooth and pale.
Step 3
Gradually pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Peel and slice the bananas into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Add the banana slices to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until caramelized and lightly golden.
Step 9
Divide the caramelized bananas between two serving bowls and pour the warm custard over the top.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your hot custard and bananas.
