There’s something comforting about banana desserts: especially when they’re creamy and packed with deep caramelised flavors. This simple banana pudding combines the sweetness that naturally comes with bananas with the creamy texture that comes from slow steam baking for the perfect dessert that feels both indulgent and elegant for any day.

Made with Tecno’s TBO-650STM Multi-Function Steam-Convection Combi Built-in oven, this recipe uses the controlled steam and precision heating to create an extra smooth pudding without curdling or overcooking the batter.

Step-by-Step Recipe

1. Caramelise Bananas

Preheat the oven to 180º C with top heat on the grill setting and line the tray with a sheet pan. Slice bananas up and place sliced bananas on the prepared tray. 

Sprinkle with brown sugar, and broil for 7 minutes until caramelised.

Tip 💡: Leave the oven door open for 30 seconds to let it cool.

2. Blend
   After the caramelised bananas are ready, place them into a bowl/tall jar.
   Mash caramelised bananas together using a spatula or spoon.

Alternative: Blend the bananas until smooth using an immersion blender into a purée.
Tip 💡: Sieve the banana purée to achieve a smoother pudding.

3. Make Custard

Whisk together sugar, egg yolks, vanilla, and salt.
Mix in banana purée and heavy cream. Pour into a covered oven-safe container, covering it with oven-safe lid or cling wrap.

Tip 💡: Poke holes in cling wrap to retain moisture, allowing you to steam the pudding without drying it out completely.

4. Cook
   Place in the oven and steam for 1 hour at 90ºC with rear heat.

Tip 💡: If the pudding mix is still watery, put it back into the oven for another 30 minutes.

5. Chill & Serve
   Whisk until smooth, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or leave it overnight.
   If needed, whisk in a little cold cream or milk before serving.

Once it’s chilled, you can either eat it by itself or add extra toppings!
