How to Make Baked Banana Coconut Custard

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Mash the bananas in a bowl until smooth.
  3. In a blender or food processor, combine the mashed bananas, coconut milk, eggs, and 1/2 cup sugar. Blend until completely smooth.
  4. Pour the banana custard mixture into a large bowl and stir in the shredded coconut.
  5. Generously butter eight 1/2-cup ramekins.
  6. Pour the banana custard into the ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full.
  7. Place the ramekins in a baking pan. Pour enough hot water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins (creating a water bath).
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the custards are just set and no longer jiggly in the center.
  9. Carefully remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool on a wire rack.
  10. Just before serving, sprinkle each custard evenly with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar.
  11. Turn the oven's broiler to high.
  12. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet at least 4 inches from the broiler element.
  13. Broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the sugar caramelizes to a golden brown color. Watch carefully to prevent burning!
  14. Garnish with chopped candied walnuts and serve immediately.
