Instructions

Prepare Banana Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 loaf pan.
  2. Whisk together mashed bananas, melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
  3. Fold in flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until just combined.
  4. Pour into loaf pan and bake for 40 minutes.

Prepare and Bake Custard

  1. While bread bakes, whisk egg yolks, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  2. After 40 minutes, carefully remove the bread from the oven and pour the custard mixture over the top.
  3. Return to the oven for an additional 20-25 minutes until the bread is set and the custard has a slight jiggle in the center.
  4. Remove and let cool completely on a wire rack, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Caramelize and Serve

  1. Evenly sprinkle the remaining granulated sugar over the set custard layer.
  2. Use a kitchen torch to melt and caramelize the sugar into a golden-brown glass shell.
  3. Allow the sugar to harden for 2 minutes before slicing into 10 even portions.

Chef's Notes & Tips

Tip 1 of 2

Use overripe bananas with heavy black spotting for maximum sweetness and moisture. If the bread top browns too quickly while the custard sets, tent the loaf pan loosely with aluminum foil.

Tip 2 of 2

For the cleanest slices, use a hot, dry chef's knife and wipe the blade clean between every cut.
