Method

Preheat oven to 200°C and grease four ramekins with half the butter and 1 tbsp sugar.

Mix the remaining sugar with the custard in a large bowl.

Whisk egg whites in a clean bowl until stiff peaks form.

Fold whites into custard, add liqueur, and bake in ramekins for 6-8 minutes.

Fry bananas cut-side down in a hot pan for 1-2 minutes until caramelised.

Melt butter in the pan and cook sugar until it turns a caramel colour.

Stir in cream, boil, then simmer for 2-3 minutes before reheating bananas in the sauce.

Serve soufflés immediately with caramelised bananas and mint garnish.
