This killer custard tastes as good (if not better) than traditional custard, just without the refined sugar or dairy! This recipe isn’t going to win any competitions for the healthiest food in the world, but it still stands head and shoulders above traditional custard and there is absolutely no compromise on taste.
What really makes this recipe shine is the clever use of natural ingredients. Bananas and dates provide all the sweetness you need, completely replacing refined sugar while adding valuable nutrients like potassium, fibre, and antioxidants. Coconut milk gives the custard its creamy richness, making it dairy-free while also supplying healthy fats that support skin and brain health. The vanilla powder adds that familiar comforting aroma we all associate with custard, while the egg yolks gently thicken the mixture into a silky-smooth texture. Altogether, this creates a custard that feels every bit as indulgent as the classic version but leaves you feeling lighter and more nourished afterwards.

Method
1. Add your bananas, dates, vanilla powder and coconut milk to your Nutribullet and give it a blast until everything is completely liquidated.
2. Transfer to a sauce pan and add the egg yolks.
3. Gently heat whisking continuously until your custard thickens slightly. If you heat your custard too quickly your custard may curdle. If it does, transfer back to your Nutribullet and give it another blast.
