Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 loaf Banana bread
  • 2 Bananas (Sliced)
  • 400 ml Milk
  • 200 ml Cream
  • 1 pod Vanilla - split and seeds scraped (Or 1 tsp vanilla paste)
  • 4 large Egg yolks
  • 30 grams Caster sugar
  • 2 tsp Cornflour

Instructions
 

Prep

  • Weigh/ measure the ingredients
  • Separate the yolks from the whites
  • Carefully scrape the seeds from the vanilla pod

To Make

  • Tear the banana bread into chunks and place a layer on the bottom of your pie dish. Press down gently. Lightly butter the bread as you go or add small pieces of butter on each layer. Add slices of banana evenly in the layers as you go. Repeat until the dish is full
  • Add milk. cream and vanilla seeds (or paste) to your saucepan. Over a medium heat, stirring occasionally, warm until it just begins to simmer then remove from the heat to cool just a little
  • In a clean bowl, add the egg yolks and sugar and whisk until well combined. The mixture will become paler and slightly increased in volume
  • Place your bowl on a cloth to stop it slipping. While whisking constantly, pour the heated cream mixture in a thin stream into your egg mix until well combined
  • Pour the custard mixture back into the saucepan. Over a low heat, warm while stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes or until the custard begins to thicken a little
  • Pre-heat the oven to 400℉/ 200℃/ 180° Fan
  • Pour the custard carefully over the banana bread. Press down gently with a spatula and keep pouring until the dish is full. Allow to sit for 30 minutes, pressing down occasionally to ensure the custard soaks into the brioche.
  • When ready to cook, place in the roasting pan and fill half way up the side of the dish with hot water. Cook in the middle of the oven for around 30 minutes or until the top has turned a delicious golden brown

To Serve

  • Serve warm from the oven for a gooey, custardy treat along with perhaps cream or ice cream or allow it to cool and eat over the next couple of days as a more cake like dessert
