  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.
EquipmentBlender, fine sieve, 10 mL syringe and fork for testing
SLP tipA product sold as custard is not automatically Level 3. The finished portion still needs testing.

Before serving: run the spoon tilt and fork drip tests on the finished plate. Recipes guide you to a texture. Only the test confirms it.
