Ingredients

• 2 large Ripe bananas
• 1.5 cups Coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.5 cups Almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
• 0.25 teaspoons Turmeric powder (optional, for color)
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Peel the ripe bananas and mash them thoroughly using a fork or blend them in a blender until smooth. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, and mashed bananas. Whisk together until well blended.

Step 3

Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, cornstarch, turmeric powder (if using), and a pinch of salt to the saucepan. Whisk again to ensure the cornstarch is fully incorporated with no lumps.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture while stirring constantly. This helps to prevent lumps and ensures the custard thickens evenly.

Step 5

Once the mixture starts to thicken (around 8-10 minutes), reduce the heat to low. Continue to stir until you reach a creamy custard consistency.

Step 6

Remove the custard from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes. It will thicken slightly as it cools.

Step 7

Pour the custard into serving bowls or glasses. For a smoother texture, you can strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring.

Step 8

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours before serving. This allows the custard to set and enhances its flavor.

Step 9

Garnish with sliced bananas, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired. Serve cold and enjoy!
