Servers 4

INGREDIENTS

• 30g custard powder
• 500ml semi-skimmed milk
• 30g sugar
• 4 large bananas (about 500g)

METHOD

1. Blend 1 or 2 tablespoons of the milk with the custard powder to make a paste. 
2. Put the remaining milk in a saucepan to heat. Before it comes to the boil, add the custard mixture slowly, stirring all the time so that it blends in and doesn’t go lumpy, and then add the sugar.
3. Stir the custard well as it comes to the boil and then simmer for a few minutes until it thickens. 
4. Peel the bananas and cut them into chunks. Place in a bowl and add the custard.
