Directions

  • Combine all crust ingredients in a mixer machine and mix well.

  • Meanwhile, add all the rest of the ingredients in a blender and blend well.
  • Pour the banana custard mixture into a large saucepan and cook on medium low heat, mixing continuously until the custard thickens. Turn off the heat.
  • Mix gelatin mixture into the hot banana custard mixture until combined.
  • Pour custard into a bowl and set in an ice bain-marie to cool the mixture down rapidly. (Simply set a bowl in a tray of iced water)

To Assemble:
