Ingredients

  • 1 Banana (If you want to make it a rich, yellow egg-like color, try using 50 g boiled kabocha squash instead of the banana.)
  • 300 ml Soy milk
  • 4 tbsp Raw cane sugar (or beet sugar)
  • 2 tbsp Cake flour (or cornstarch)
  • 1 dash Vanilla oil
  • 50 grams Cream cheese, if desired (Can be omitted with no problem for those who don't use dairy products.)

Method

  • Mash the banana in a large bowl.
  • This time we're making banana custard, but you can omit the banana if you're making another kind of dessert.
  • Add in the cream cheese here, if using.
  • Soften either at room temperature or for 30 seconds in the microwave first, and mix it in well.
  • Stir in the raw cane sugar, cake flour and vanilla oil, in that order.
  • Add the soy milk and continue mixing.
  • (It's alright if there are a few lumps at this stage.)
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave for 2 minutes, until the edges are bubbling lightly.Take it out of the microwave and beat it well with a whisk.
  • Put it back in the microwave and heat for 1 minute.
  • When the edges start bubbling again, take it out and mix well.
  • If it's not thick enough, put it back in the microwave and repeat the process of heating and mixing, for 30 seconds at a time.
  • The photo shows a good thickness for things like cream-filled buns.
  • It's done when it reaches the thickness you desire.
  • Spread it out in a shallow container, cover with plastic wrap and chill it in the fridge.
  • You can also just cover the bowl as-is with plastic wrap.
  • To make on the stovetop: Steps 1-4 are the same.
  • Then, transfer the mixture from the bowl to a pot and cook it over low heat, stirring continuously.
  • When it's thickened to your liking, it's done!
  • This is what it looks like made with kabocha squash instead of banana.
  • It looks and tastes like it's made with egg Macrobiotic recipes often use kabocha squash instead of eggs.
  • "Caramel Banana Trifle" made with custard, sliced bananas, whipped cream, nuts and topped with caramel sauce.
  • If you have custard left over, make custard toast.
  • Just spread lots of custard on top of bread and toast it.
  • It tastes just like cream-filled buns.
