Dairy Free Baked Banana Custard

 Too good to resist, yum!

 

Smooth and light dairy free banana custard

Bain-Marie or water bath baking method. 
Tray is half filled with boiled water then placed in oven to bake.

I love this dairy free banana custard. It is so easy to make, only if it didn't take so long to bake in the oven. I will definitely been making this again.

I made the dairy free banana custard with rice milk instead of cows milk. I can't see why you couldn't try any other type of milk, it should all work. You will have to let me know what you try and how you went. 

It is really light on the tummy which is great so it can be eaten any time of the day even for a late night snack.

Dairy Free Baked Banana Custard Recipe

Ingredients
2 large ripe bananas
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup rice milk
1 teaspoon honey
1 egg
¼ teaspoon organic vanilla essence

Method
Preheat oven to 160C/325F

Mash the bananas with a fork on a chopping board.

In a small saucepan heat 1 cup of rice milk with 1 teaspoon honey. Do not boil.

In a medium size bowl whisk 1 egg with ¼ teaspoon vanilla essence.

Slowly add ¼ cup of the milk and whisk into the eggs. Then add rest of the milk, cinnamon and whisk well. Add rest of the bananas and whisk until combined.

Pour into two 10cm/4inch spring form tins that have been greased with olive oil spray.

Take a baking tray and place tins inside then pour boiling water in tray until halfway up the side of the custard tins. This is called baking in a bain marie or a water bath. We do this to create a gentle and uniform heat around the custard so it cooks evenly.

Open oven door and gently slide tray into oven.

Cook for 60 minutes or until custard is set.

To serve decorate with a sliced strawberry then dust with cinnamon and drizzle a little honey on top. Yum!

Enjoy.

Note: These will only last about two days so make and eat asap.
