Banana Custard Easy

**Ingredients:**
– 3 large ripe bananas
– 2 cups whole milk
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 4 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– Ground cinnamon for garnish
– Whipped cream (optional)

**Instructions:**

1. **Preheat the Oven:** Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a baking dish that can hold about 6 cups of liquid.

2. **Prepare the Bananas:** Peel the ripe bananas and mash them in a mixing bowl with a fork until smooth. Set the bowl aside.

3. **Heat the Milk:** In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk until little bubbles form around the edges of the pan. Do not let the milk boil.

4. **Mix the Ingredients:** In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg mixture, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking.

5. **Combine the Mixture:** Pour the egg and milk mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens slightly. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.

6. **Add the Mashed Bananas:** Gently fold in the mashed bananas into the custard mixture until well incorporated.

7. **Bake the Custard:** Pour the banana custard mixture into the prepared baking dish. Place the dish in a larger baking pan and fill the larger pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the custard dish.

8. **Bake:** Carefully transfer the setup to the preheated oven and bake for about 30-40 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

9. **Chill and Serve:** Remove the custard from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to set completely.

10. **Garnish and Enjoy:** Sprinkle the chilled custard with a dusting of ground cinnamon and a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Serve the banana custard chilled and savor each spoonful of this creamy, fruity delight.
