Description
A delightful twist on dessert with velvety banana goodness, brightened by zesty lemon and creamy butter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine the ripe bananas, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat until the mixture is warm and the bananas soften nicely.

- Cool before refrigerating until ready to serve.
Notes
Use ripe bananas for the best flavor. Always whisk eggs before adding hot ingredients. If the curd thickens too much, whisk in water to adjust texture.
