Ingredients

2 cups soy milk
or dairy of choice
2 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoon sugar or sugar alternative
1 large mango
or 2 small
4 whole bananas
cut in half
1 teaspoon cinnamon
optional or toasted coconut

Instructions

Preheat oven to 190 degrees Celsius
In a small dish mix about 2 tablespoons (of the 2 cups of milk) of malted soya milk with the cornstarch until it is free of lumps.
Place the cornstarch and soya milk mixture in a small pot and heat over medium heat gently while adding the remainder of the milk. (Keep stirring to prevent lumps)
Add vanilla and sugar, stevia or sweetener of choice to the custard. Bring gently up to boil for about 2 minutes until starts to thicken and then turn off heat and set aside. (To obtain your desired thickness add more cornstarch or soya milk to mixture)
Dice mangoes and set aside
Cut bananas in half lengthwise.
Scoop out some of the banana but leave some inside as this gives structure to the banana boat for cooking.
Add mango, some banana slices and scoop in the custard on top of each banana mango boat.
Bake Banana Mango boats for about 5-7 minutes until the custard starts to set.
Remove the Banana Mango Boats from the oven and garnish. (Maybe you would like to sprinkle with sugar and use your blow torch to carmelize the tops. I would have loved to have done that, but I need a blow torch. Sprinkle with cinnamon or maybe even some toasted coconut.) Whatever your little heart desires.
Enjoy Banana Mango Boats hot out of the oven. Maybe with a little tropical ice cream à la mode on the side.

Notes

Make sure to leave some of the banana inside the banana peel to give the banana structure whilst baking. You can also use other fruits instead of mango like blueberries, apricots or even nuts.
