Banana Custard

If anyone enjoys white sauce with their Christmas Pudding this recipe might seem familiar... this is a total cheat's custard, but it can be whipped up in 5 minutes and doesn't contain any of the weird additives custard powder does.

The end result is a sweet creamy dessert, bursting with banana flavour. I sometimes throw in some raspberries at the end too!

Serves 2

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 tbsp cornflour

• 250ml milk

• 1 tbsp sugar

• ½ tsp cinnamon

• 1 banana

KIT LIST:

• Microwave

• Small microwavable bowl

METHOD:

• Mix the cornflour with 2tbsp of your milk until it’s made a paste. Now top up with the rest of the milk, the sugar and cinnamon

• Microwave on high for 1 minute, then give a good stir with a fork or whisk. Put back in the microwave for another minute then stir again. Put in for 30 more seconds, give a good stir, by now the mixture should have started to thicken.

• Rip the banana into chunks and add to the mixture, microwave for another 30 seconds. If the mixture hasn’t thickened, keep microwaving for 30 seconds at time until it becomes a custard consistency.

• Enjoy! If you want more banana flavour, add some slices to the top. You could even throw in some strawberries or raspberries at the end too!
