For Banana Custard Filling:
National Banana custard powder 5 tbsp
Sugar 6 tbsp
Milk 500ml

Egg yolks 4
Gelatin powder 1 tbsp leveled

Directions
Combine all crust ingredients in a mixer machine and mix well.
Press biscuit mixture firmly onto the bottom and sides of the tart pan. Keep in refrigerator for 2 hours.
For the Caramel:
Prepare caramel sauce by adding sugar and water in a heavy-based saucepan.
Heat slowly (do not whisk) until it forms a light caramel and the sugar crystals have dissolved.
Continue to cook until you get light amber caramel colour.
Turn off the heat and gradually add the cream to the caramel, mix well.
Add vanilla essence and salt, mix well. Store in an airtight container.
For the Banana Custard
Get a small mixing bowl and add water and sprinkle gelatin (do not mix) to it. Set aside for 5 mins.
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:
Add sliced banana on top of the chilled crust base.
Pour banana custard mixture onto the sliced bananas, decorate with whipped cream, and keep in the refrigerator for 5-6 hours.
