Method
- Preheat oven to 190°C (170°C for fan assisted)/375°F/Gas Mark 5.
- Halve the pastry, roll out to a thickness of 3mm and rest for 5 minutes. Using a 10cm fluted cutter, cut circles of pastry and transfer to non-stick baking sheets. Prick the bases and bake in the oven for 12 minutes until golden brown. Then cool on a rack.
- To make the chocolate custard, mix the custard powder with the cocoa powder, pour on the boiling water and whisk until smooth. Allow to cool completely (refrigerate if time allows).

- When cool, spread each pastry round with a teaspoon of cold chocolate custard. Slice the bananas and place three slices on each portion. Finish with a swirl of cream and dust with cocoa powder.
