Tropical coconut pudding with sweet ripe bananas, a cozy winter treat.
Ingredients:
  • 2 eggs
  • 150g (1 cup) self-raising flour
  • Melted butter, to grease
  • 80g butter, at room temperature
  • 100g (1/2 cup) caster sugar
  • 4.40 gm vanilla essence
  • 2 tsp finely grated lime rind
  • 70g (2/3 cup) desiccated coconut
  • 3 firm ripe bananas, peeled, thinly sliced
  • 55g (1/4 cup, firmly packed) brown sugar
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) thickened cream
Instructions:
  • Using a pastry brush, coat four 185ml (3/4-cup) ramekins with melted butter to lightly grease them, then line the bottoms with non-stick baking paper.
  • Fill a wok with water until it reaches a 5cm depth. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium.
  • Using an electric beater, combine butter, caster sugar, vanilla, and lime rind until pale and creamy in a bowl. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Fold in flour and coconut with a metal spoon until just combined. Distribute mixture evenly among ramekins and steam in a 30cm-diameter bamboo steamer over simmering water for 40-45 minutes. Insert a skewer into the centers to check for doneness. Once cooked, cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
  • Take out the steamer from the wok and pour out the water. Use a paper towel to dry the wok. Heat the wok over medium-high heat. Toss in the bananas and brown sugar, stir gently for 1-2 minutes until the sugar caramelizes. Add the cream and toss gently until heated through. Remove from heat.
  • Invert the steamed puddings onto plates, add caramelised bananas on top, and serve right away.
