Banana Curd




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




1 very ripe banana
1 egg yolk
2 tbsp. salted butter
1 tsp. lemon juice
1/4 C. pure cane sugar





Recipe



In a small bowl, mash banana and set aside. In a separate small bowl, whisk egg yolk and set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt butter on medium-high heat. Add lemon juice and sugar. Stir to combine.
Add mashed banana and cook until bubbly (bananas will be lumpy).
Add a bit of the banana mixture (about a tablespoon) into the egg mixture to temper. Whisk immediately and constantly. We don't want scrambled eggs here.
Pour egg mixture in the saucepan and continue stirring constantly. Mixture will thicken to a curd. Allow to cook for 1-2 minutes or until large lava bubbles form on the surface.
Remove from heat and transfer to a blender or food processor. Process for 15-30 seconds or until smooth.
Transfer to a container. Allow to cool before covering and storing in fridge. Should keep for 3 weeks, if you can keep your hands off of it that long.
