How To Make banana caramel custard

  • Step 1
    Fill a roasting pan or a 13x9-inch baking dish half full of hot tap water and place on an oven rack in the center of the oven.
  • Step 2
    Heat the oven to 350.
  • Step 3
    In a small heavy saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of the sugar over medium heat for about 5 minutes, swirling the pan occasionally until the sugar has melted and turns golden brown.
  • Step 4
    (Watch the sugar carefully after it liquefies. If it gets too dark it will taste burned.)
  • Step 5
    Immediately pour the mixture into a 9x5-inch loaf pan so the sugar covers the bottom of the pan completely.
  • Step 6
    In a large bowl, beat the banana and the remaining 3/4 cup sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until completely liquefied with no lumps. Beat in the eggs.
  • Step 7
    Add the evaporated milk, vanilla, nutmeg and salt.
  • Step 8
    Beat with a mixer on low speed or stir just until blended.
  • Step 9
    Pour the mixture into the loaf pan--don\\\'t worry if the caramel cracks.
  • Step 10
    Carefully place the baking pan in the center of the pan of hot water.
  • Step 11
    Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes to 20 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean and the top is browned.
  • Step 12
    Remove the pan from the water and set on a wire wrack to cool completely.
  • Step 13
    When cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
  • Step 14
    To serve, run a thin knife around the inside edges of the custard.
  • Step 15
    Invert a serving plate over the pan.
  • Step 16
    Invert the pan and plate together.
  • Step 17
    Lift the pan and allow the syrup to run onto the plate.
  • Step 18
    Serve right away or cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Step 19
    Cut into 10 slices.
