Banana Crème brûlée

A very cheap 'cheat' recipe for Crème brûlée.

Ingredients:

  • One overripe banana
  • Three egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup of milk
  • a little bit vanilla
  • a little bit sugar
  • dash pof nutmeg

Preperation:

  1. Start by 

putting into a blender: a banana, three egg yolks, half a cup of milk, a little vanilla, a little sugar, a dash of nutmeg, whiz it up. You can add cream if you like, but add it after whizzing so it doesn't whip.
  2. Strain into individual ramekins and bake in a 325 oven in a bain marie (put ramekins in a pan of water, with the level of water at least halfway up their sides). Bake until set, about 40 mins.
  3. Cool and then chill. 


  4. Just before serving, sprinkle tops with sugar and blow torch or broil until caramelized. 

Only uses one (overripe) banana, but really easy.
