Bananas & custard

- Ollie Dabbous

“My worst memory of food as a child was bananas and custard at school dinner. Thick, congealed, sickly sweet custard topped with brown oxidized banana. This is a recipe for what I hope people agree is a tastier alternative. Though seen as food for kids or invalids, this is a great dish, especially when homemade with good ingredients and a little TLC.”

Bananas & custard

500g   Milk 125g   Whipping cream 1/2      Tahitian vanilla pod, split & scraped 85g     Sugar 150g   Egg yolks (approx. 8) 4         Bananas, medium sized, ripe

Bring the milk and cream to the boil, remove from the heat, add the vanilla, film over and infuse for 30 mins.

Whisk together the egg yolks and sugar.

Pour 1/2 the hot milk onto the yolks, then pour this back into the pan of milk.

Cook on a low heat, stirring constantly with a spatula until lightly thickened. If you have a temperature probe, this will be 80C.

Pass through a fine sieve.

Peel the bananas and slice 1cm thick.

Place 60g sliced banana in each bowl, then top with 90g custard.
