3 Reasons to Make Banana Custard and Assorted Recipes to Try

From sheer curiosity to the desire to prepare a family recipe, there are many reasons to try making banana custard. If you’ve got more bananas than you know what to do with, then this dish may help you with the abundance (although some recipes call for ripe bananas while others specify a firmer selection). Below, discover even more reasons to try making banana custard at home:

1. Recipe simplicity: Many basic banana custard recipes have fewer than 10 ingredients. They also tend to require minimal preparation time. Most of the total time for these recipes may stem from steeping the banana in the milk to infuse flavor as discussed at Serious Eats or the chilling time for the custard, depending on the final dish.

2. Multiple applications: As explained at Pies and Tacos, banana custard is extremely versatile. It can be eaten as is or used as a filling for different types of desserts. One of the most popular uses for banana custard is in banana pudding. As discussed at Southern Food and Fun, some preparations of this dish use instant pudding mixes, but making a custard from scratch makes a difference in the overall flavor and richness of the dessert.

3. Frozen preparations: In the recipe provided at Taste of Home for banana custard, one variation for the prepared custard is to freeze it in popsicle molds and enjoy it in this form. Alternatively, you can just make a recipe like this one shared at the Food Network that’s specifically for making a frozen version of banana custard.

Available in various sizes and as a sundae, concrete or shake, the subtle sweetness of the banana and the slightly salty and nutty peanut butter cups pair deliciously with vanilla custard, but can also be made with our chocolate custard or a combination of these flavors.

DIY Banana Dreamcake Variation: Love the Strawberry Dreamcake? Curious about how a banana swap might taste with the other ingredients in this menu selection or work in combination with the strawberry puree?
