Ingredients:
- 3 ripe bananas
- 40 g (2 tbsp) butter
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Optional: 1/3 tsp turmeric (for a lovely color)
- 2 egg yolks
- 25 g (2 tbsp) cornstarch
- 200 ml (4/5 cups) milk
- 250 ml (1 cup) chilled cream (33-38% fat)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Bananas:
- Mash the bananas in a bowl until smooth. Add the lemon juice and optional turmeric for a vibrant color. Mix well.
- Cook the Mixture:
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mashed bananas and stir for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is fragrant and slightly thickened.
- Thicken with Cornstarch:
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the cornstarch until smooth. Gradually add the milk while whisking continuously.
- Combine and Cook:
- Pour the egg mixture into the saucepan with the banana mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Cool and Serve:
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Fold in the chilled cream gently to achieve a light, creamy texture.
- Optional Toppings:
- If desired, you can garnish the dessert with a sprinkle of cinnamon, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor.
- Enjoy:
- Serve the creamy banana dessert in bowls or glasses, and enjoy it chilled or at room temperature.
