Banana cream is a milk-based dessert. It is based on Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management, which is public domain.

Ingredients

• 2 oz (57 g / ½ cup) cornstarch
• 1 quart (950 ml / 4 cups) milk
• 2 oz (57 g / ¼ cup) caster sugar
• 2 egg yolks, beaten
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 bananas, thinly sliced

Procedure

1. Mix the cornstarch smoothly with a little milk to form a paste.
2. Put the remaining milk into a pan with the sugar. When boiling add the cornflour paste, and boil for about 10 minutes.
3. Let the mixture cool a little, then add the beaten egg yolks, and stir until they thicken.
4. Add the vanilla, the bananas. When cool, pour into the prepared mould.
5. Chill for a few hours to set.
