    Recipe For Banana Custard Cream
  • Into a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and 3 tbsp. of cold water together. Set the mixture aside and ready a medium-sized saucepan.
  • Put the granulated sugar, flour, milk, salt and the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan. Heat over medium flame for around 5 minutes until the mixture comes into a boil.  Remember to stir the mixture from time-to-time in the duration of 5 minutes.

Alternative Method: Microwave Banana Cream Custard

Banana Cream Custard
Fresh bananas: the star ingredient in our custard story.

Instructions:

  • Ingredients Prep: As with the traditional method, begin by mashing your ripe bananas and setting them aside. In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  • Milk Mixture: In a separate microwave-safe jug or bowl, heat the milk and the scraped seeds of a vanilla bean (or a splash of vanilla extract) for 2 minutes on high, or until it’s warm but not boiling.
  • Combining: Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg mixture, whisking continuously. This gradual process ensures the eggs don’t curdle. Once combined, stir in the mashed bananas.
  • Microwave Cooking: Place the bowl back in the microwave and cook on medium power for 6-8 minutes. It’s crucial to pause every 90 seconds to give the mixture a good whisk to ensure even cooking and a smooth consistency.
  • Cooling: Once the custard has thickened to your liking, remove it from the microwave. If you wish, you can pass the custard through a sieve for an even silkier texture. Cover the surface directly with a piece of plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
  • Chill & Serve: Allow the custard to cool to room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours. When ready, serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon or grated chocolate on top for added flair.

Serving Suggestions

  • Sides: While Banana Cream Custard is rich and satisfying on its own, consider serving it alongside a plate of light, buttery shortbread cookies or delicate ladyfingers. Their subtle sweetness and crunch provide a beautiful contrast to the creamy custard.
  • Garnishes: A sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg or cinnamon can be magical. For a gourmet touch, consider caramelized banana slices or a drizzle of dark chocolate. If you’re feeling particularly fancy, a dollop of whipped cream with a mint sprig can do wonders.
  • Beverages: A dessert wine, particularly one with a hint of tropical fruit, pairs beautifully. For non-alcoholic options, a cold glass of milk or a warm vanilla chai complements the custard’s flavors perfectly.

Cooking Tips

Banana Cream Custard
From ingredients to indulgence: the custard-making journey.
  • Consistency is Key: Achieving that velvety texture requires consistent whisking. When combining ingredients, especially the eggs and milk, whisk vigorously to ensure a lump-free mixture.
  • Watch the Heat: Too high, and you risk curdling. Always heat your ingredients slowly, especially when using the microwave method. Patience here will reward you with a creamier custard.
  • Banana Choice: The riper the banana, the sweeter and more pronounced its flavor. However, avoid using overripe bananas as they can make the custard too mushy.

FAQs about Banana Cream Custard

 Banana Cream Custard
The golden hue of custard, promising pure decadence with every bite.
  • Can I use an alternative milk like almond or oat milk? Absolutely! While the texture and flavor might slightly differ, feel free to use your preferred milk alternative. Just ensure to adjust the sweetness accordingly.
  • How long will the Banana Cream Custard last in the refrigerator? Stored in an airtight container, the custard will remain fresh for up to 3 days. Always give it a quick sniff test before serving.
  • Why has my custard turned lumpy? Lumps typically form if the eggs curdle. This can happen if the milk is too hot when combined with the eggs or if the mixture is cooked too quickly. Remember, gentle and slow is the way to go!
  • Can I freeze the custard for later use? While technically you can, freezing might alter the texture, making it less creamy. For best results, enjoy it fresh or refrigerated.
  • Any tips for a vegan version of this custard? Certainly! Replace the milk with full-fat coconut milk and the eggs with silken tofu or an egg replacer. Adjust sweetness and flavorings as needed. The result will be a tad different but delicious in its own right.
