Description

This cream is great because it easily goes without added sugar: a banana is a natural source of sucrose. That's why desserts with banana are so brilliant and simple.

Ingredients

Milk - 10 fl oz
Egg white - 3 pieces
Corn Starch - 3 teaspoons
Powdered Sugar - to taste
Bananas - 1 piece
Butter - 0.7 oz
Vanilla extract - to taste
Salt - a pinch

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Heat the milk over low heat (ideally with a vanilla pod, if available).

Step 2

Whisk the egg yolks with cornstarch (can be substituted with flour), powdered sugar, and salt. Gradually dilute the mixture with part of the hot milk, continuously stirring, and add it to the saucepan with the milk.

Step 3

Add the pre-peeled pureed banana to the cream and cook until the first bubbles appear, until thickened. Remove from heat, flavor the cream with vanilla, cinnamon, or other favorite spices, and continue to stir vigorously for a few more minutes. Then cool: the cream will thicken further as it cools.
