Ingredients
  

  • 6 slices banana bread (cubed) about 18oz/515g or about ¾ of a loaf
  • 2 medium bananas (mashed)
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk 12floz/355ml
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream 12floz/355ml
  • 4 large eggs
  • cup dark brown sugar 2oz/57g
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Butter for the dish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and butter an 8x8-inch baking dish.
  • Slice and cut the banana bread into small cubes. Place into the buttered dish.
  • In a medium bowl, mashed banana with a potato masher or fork until fine. Next, add in the eggs, sugar, milk, cream, vanilla extract, and salt and pour evenly over the banana bread. Let soak for a minimum of 30 minutes but up to 4 hours. Push the bread down into the custard to ensure it all gets well soaked.
