Chocolate
Bananas and Custard
My
dad loves custard, therefore it was a regular dessert in
our house. He'd love this recipe, although I've never
cooked it for him. This recipe is for home made custard,
but there is a large range of ready prepared ones now
available in supermarkets.
You
need - for 2 people (1 if you're like my dad!):
3 egg yolks
75g sugar (and 1 tbsp)
220ml milk
1 tbsp flour
1 fresh vanilla pod
1 tsp cocoa powder
2 bananas
25g butter
pinch o' ginger
pinch o' salt
Fill
a saucepan 1/2 full with water and put on to boil. Once
boiled turn down to a slow simmer, put a bowl over the
top ensuring the bottom isn't in the water, if it is,
remove some water.
Mix the yolks, 75g sugar, flour and salt in the bowl.
Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly. Cook until thickened, still stirring. Turn off the heat. Split the
vanilla pod down the centre, scrape out the seeds, and
stir in, along with the cocoa powder. Sit aside.
(Instead of the cocoa you can put in chunks of actuall
chocolate and just let them melt in, its nicer, but
cocoa is easier)
Gently heat the butter, ginger and tbsp sugar in a
frying pan, cook the bananas in the pan until coloured.
Place in a bowl or deep plate and pour over the custard.
Top with gated chocolate.
