Banana crumble
Here is a truly amazing dessert which takes a few minutes to assemble and just half an hour to bake. A pure vegetarian and low calorie dessert which smells heavenly and tastes divine.
This is my all time favourite pudding and I have yet to decide weather it tastes better served warm or chilled because it tastes great anyways we eat it.
A gorgeous pudding and an absolute favourite with anyone who loves bananas and wants to go easy on the sugar.
You could add more sugar in the custard if you want it sweeter but trust me even three tablespoons in the whole recipe though sounds incredible but is enough to make a deliciously sweet dessert.
Ingredients:
1. Four medium and firm bananas
2. One tablespoon lemon juice
3. 3 tablespoons custard powder
4. One tablespoon sugar
5. one fourth cup to half a cup raisins
6. 450 ml full cream / full fat milk
7. For the crumble:
a) ¾ cup flour
b) One fourth teaspoon baking powder
c) 2 tablespoons sugar
d) 3 tablespoons chilled butter
e) Half a teaspoon green cardamom powder
f) 2 tablespoon demerara sugar to sprinkle on top
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 190°.
2. Slice the bananas and toss lemon juice on them.
3. Place the bananas in a two litre baking dish, the bananas should not overlap each other and neither should they be too far apart. add the raisins to the dish.
4. Mix the custard powder, sugar and half a cup of milk.
5. Place the rest of the milk in a pan on medium heat and the moment it comes to a boil, stir in the custard powder and keep stirring on low flame till the custard becomes as thick as paint or a little thinner than a cake batter. But if you intend serving it chilled , then keep the custard a little thin as it will become a dense on chilling.
6. Pour the custard over the arranged bananas.
7. Keep the custard dish in the oven to remain warm while you assemble the ingredients for the crumble.
8. Sieve the flour and baking powder. Mix in the sugar and the green cardamaon powder.
9. Add the small chunks of chilled butter and rub the flour between your palms till the mixture resembles bread crumbs.
10. Sprinkle the mixture over the banana custard but do not press it , just a sprinkle is enough.
11. Sprinkle the demerara sugar and place the dish back into the oven and bake at 190° for thirty minutes.
12. Serve warm or at room temperature or even chilled tastes great.
