Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 ripe bananas
2 1/4 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup plus 8 tsp. sugar
4 egg yolks
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 F. Have a pot of boiling water ready. Peel 1 banana and cut in thirds. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine cream, cut banana and 1/4 cup sugar. Cook, stirring, until steam rises, 4-5 minutes. Let stand 4-5 minutes. In a bowl, beat yolks and vanilla until blended. Strain cream through a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl; discard cooked banana. Pour cream into yolks, a little at a time, stirring constantly until smooth. Divide among four ramekins. Line a 3-inch deep baking pan with a kitchen towel. Place ramekins in pan and add boiling water to fill pan halfway up sides of ramekins. Cover loosely with foil and bake until set, 30-35 minutes. Remove ramekins from pan, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate 2-3 hours. Peel remaining banana and slice crosswise into 1/8-inch thick slices. Arrange 7-8 slices over the top of each custard and sprinkle 2 teaspoons sugar evenly over each surface. With a kitchen torch, move flame continuously in small circles over surface until sugar melts and lightly browns. Serve immediately.
