Canonical: [https://followyourswallow.com/recipes/chocolate-banana-custard-level-3](https://followyourswallow.com/recipes/chocolate-banana-custard-level-3)

Level 3: Moderately Thick / Liquidised | 15 min | Serves 2

## Family version

- Chocolate custard
- Banana slices
- Cookie crumble

## Level 3 ingredients

- 250 ml smooth chocolate custard
- 1/2 very ripe banana
- Milk or prescribed thickened milk as needed
- Commercial thickener as needed

## Method

1. Blend the custard and banana until completely smooth and free of fibers.
2. Pass through a fine sieve, then adjust in small measured amounts if the mixture is too thick to flow.
3. Check again after chilling because banana and custard both become thicker when cold.
4. Confirm Level 3 with the 10 mL flow test and fork drip test. Serve without banana pieces or crumbs.

## Equipment

Blender, fine sieve, 10 mL syringe and fork for testing

## Practical tip

A product sold as custard is not automatically Level 3. The finished portion still needs testing.

## Before serving

Run the IDDSI Flow Test on the finished serving. Recipes guide the preparation; only testing confirms how the serving behaves.

## Safety

Use only the food and drink levels prescribed by the person's qualified clinician. Test the actual serving before it is eaten or drunk.
