How to Make Brilliant Banana Brulee

  1. Preheat your broiler to high.
  2. Thinly slice 2 ripe bananas and divide evenly among 2-4 individual oven-safe ramekins or dishes.
  3. In a bowl, gently whisk together 1/2 cup Ambrosia custard and 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt until smooth.
  4. Spoon the yogurt-custard mixture evenly over the sliced bananas in each ramekin.
  5. Sprinkle 1-2 teaspoons of granulated sugar over the top of each ramekin, ensuring even coverage.
  6. Place the ramekins under the preheated broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the sugar is melted and caramelized to your liking. Watch closely to prevent burning!
  7. Remove from the broiler and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy! Serve immediately for the best caramelized sugar crunch.
