  • Yield: N/A

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 1½ cups whole milk
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup mashed banana (or 2 small bananas)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 vanilla bean or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 ripe bananas, cut into ½” dice
  • 6 egg whites, room temperature
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon fine salt
  • 3 cups flour
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 12 ounces unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Sift together the cornstarch and sugar, then whisk in the egg yolks.
  2. Blend the milk, heavy cream, and bananas until smooth. Heat the mixture with salt and vanilla bean or extract until just boiling.
  3. Temper the egg mixture by slowly whisking in the hot milk mixture until warm, then return to the pot, whisk constantly until thickened, and bring to a boil before finishing.
  4. Strain the pastry cream into a bowl containing the butter, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate.
  5. Whip 1 cup of heavy cream to soft peaks, then fold into the chilled pastry cream along with chopped bananas.
  6. Make meringue by heating egg whites and sugar over a double boiler until sugar dissolves. Beat until cooled and shiny, then add vinegar and vanilla extract.
  7. Mix flour and salt in a bowl; cream butter and sugar, then gradually add the flour mixture. Mix until combined, adding vanilla in the process.
  8. Roll the dough and chill. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut dough into rectangles, place on a baking sheet, and bake until golden.
  9. Layer banana mousse with shortbread pieces in a parfait dish and top with meringue.
