Banana Custard Cream
- 1 small Banana
- 1 tbsp Cake flour
- 1 tbsp Corn starch
- 150 ml Milk
- 1 Egg (whole egg)
- 3 tbsp Brown sugar (or use white sugar)
- 1 few drops Vanilla oil (or vanilla essence)
- 1 optional, (to taste) Rum or brandy
- 5 grams Butter
- Puree the banana.
- Use a food processor or handheld mixer.
- If it's a bother just mash it up with a fork.
- Put the ingredients in a small pan, and mix it up well before starting to cook.
- If you want a really creamy, smooth texture, I recommend straining the mixture through a sieve at this stage.
- Cook over low heat while mixing constantly with a whisk.
- When it starts to thicken, the hardening process will progress very quickly, so keep mixing!
- When the cream is turning glossy and thick, add the banana puree and mix it in well.
- Turn off the heat and add the butter.
- Done!
- When cooling down the cream, press a sheet of plastic wrap right on the surface of the cream.This prevents the surface from drying out and forming a skin.
- All the tablespoon measurements are level tablespoons.
- Small whisks and pans make handling the cream easier with this recipe.
- See the one on the right in the photo.
- Small whisks are very useful.
- I bought mine at a 100 yen shop.
- If you chill the cream in the refrigerator it will firm up quite a bit, so use as a filling in bread rolls and so on.
- By the way, I don't strain the cream since it's extra work, but it still comes out very nicely.
- I also have a "strawberry" version in my custard cream series..
- I also have a "chocolate" version in my custard cream series..
