Directions:
- Prepare the Custard Base:
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and cornstarch until smooth.
- Gradually whisk in the milk to ensure there are no lumps.
- Cook the Custard:
- Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Add the vanilla sugar (or vanilla extract) to infuse the custard with flavor.
- Cook and stir until the mixture thickens into a custard, about 5-7 minutes.
- Flavor the Custard:
- Remove the custard from heat and stir in the freshly squeezed orange juice, mixing well to combine.
- Layer the Dessert:
- Slice the banana into thin rounds.
- In your serving dish, create a layer of banana slices.
- Add a layer of biscuits on top of the bananas.
- Assemble:
- Pour the warm custard over the banana and biscuit layers, ensuring the biscuits are covered.
- Chill:
- Place the dessert in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the custard to set slightly.
- Decorate and Serve:
- Before serving, garnish the top of the custard with chocolate shavings or chocolate chips.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, mix a little orange zest into the custard while cooking.
- If you prefer a crunchier texture, add the biscuit layer just before serving to prevent them from softening too much in the custard.
