Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 very ripe bananas
450ml double cream
100g golden caster sugar
6 eggs
1 lime , zested
100g chopped medjool dates
50g honeycomb , broken into shards
2 tbsp chopped salted pistachios
50g dried banana chips

Steps:

  • Purée the bananas with a stick blender and tip into a heavy-bottomed saucepan with the cream. Heat gently until steaming, stirring all the time. Meanwhile, whisk together the sugar and eggs. Pour the hot banana cream over the eggs and whisk well to combine, then tip everything back into the saucepan.
  • Cook over a low heat, stirring continuously, until thick and the mixture reaches 78C on a digital cooking thermometer. You'll need to stir constantly, scraping the bottom of the pan so the eggs don't overcook or burn. Add the lime zest, whizz up again with a hand blender, pass the mixture through a sieve into a jug and pour into six serving glasses, ramekins or one large dish. Cover with cling film, then chill for at least 3 hrs, but preferably overnight, until set. Remove from the fridge and sprinkle with the dates, honeycomb, pistachios and banana chips to serve.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 ripe bananas
Juice of 1/2 lime
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 cups milk
5 tablespoons sugar
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup plain bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, peel and mash the bananas and mix with the lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon of the nutmeg.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk and sugar. In a small bowl, blend the eggs and vanilla together, then combine with the banana mixture and milk mixture. Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the buttered baking pan. Pour the custard into a 9 x 13 x 2-inch ovenproof dish.
  • Sprinkle on the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg. Place the pan into a larger pan that is filled with warm water, 1/2 inch up the side. Bake for 1 hour or until the custard is set.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your custard will be.
  • Don't overcook the custard: The custard should be thick and creamy, but not curdled. If you overcook it, it will become grainy and tough.
  • Use a water bath: Baking the custard in a water bath helps to prevent it from curdling and also creates a more evenly cooked custard.
  • Make sure your honeycomb is crispy: The honeycomb should be light and airy, with a delicate caramel flavor. If it's not crispy, it will be difficult to eat and will not add much flavor to the custard.
  • Serve the custard warm or cold: Banana custard can be served warm or cold. If you serve it warm, the honeycomb will be soft and gooey. If you serve it cold, the honeycomb will be crispy and crunchy.

Conclusion:

This banana custard with dates honeycomb is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy custard is perfectly complemented by the sweet and crunchy honeycomb, and the dates add a touch of elegance and sophistication. Whether you serve it warm or cold, this dessert is sure to please everyone at your table.
