Banana Coconut Custard (recipe)

Banana Coconut Custard (recipe)

A light simple dessert for a breezy summer afternoon. The banana and coconut flavours play off each other nicely, and the custard is mildly sweet, extremely soft, and surprisingly refreshing. I tried the coconut but warm and cold and prefered it warm. As I was serving myself I left it unadorned, however if I was serving this at a dinner I would dress it up with some whipped cream, drizzled chocolate syrup and toasted almond slivers. That would be just DEEE-VINE! 😀
