Ingredients

  1. 1 smallBanana
  2. 1 tbsp★Cake flour
  3. 1 tbsp★Corn starch
  4. 150 ml★Milk
  5. 1★Egg (whole egg)
  6. 3 tbsp★Brown sugar (or use white sugar)
  7. 1few drops ★Vanilla oil (or vanilla essence)
  8. 1optional, (to taste) ★Rum or brandy
  9. 5 gramsButter

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Puree the banana. Use a food processor or handheld mixer. If it's a bother just mash it up with a fork.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    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!

  4. 4

    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!

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    All the tablespoon measurements are level tablespoons.

  7. 7

    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.

  8. 8

    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.

  9. 9

    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..
