Ingredients
For the recipe
For 2 flans:
250 ml / 8.34 fl oz of milk (baby milk)
1 g / 0.002 lb / 0.035 oz of agar (or half a teaspoon)
15 g / 0.033 lb / 0.53 oz of unsweetened cocoa powder
For Banana purée:
60 g / 0.132 lb / 2.116 oz of bananas
1 vanilla pod
Lemon
Recipe
For 2 Cocoa flans – Preparation Time: 10 minutes – Leave for 1 hour
Put the milk in a saucepan with the cocoa and bring to the boil while whisking.
Add the agar and keep on whisking gently for 2 or 3 minutes.
Pour the milk and chocolate mix into silicone moulds or ramekins.
Leave to set in the fridge for 1 hour.
For 1 serving Banana purée – Preparation Time: 5 minutes – Cooking Time: 5 minutes
Put the vanilla pod in the flavour booster in the centre of the steamer basket.
Cut the banana into slices and put it in the same steamer basket. Cook for 5 minutes.
Mix the 60 g of bananas in the blender for a few seconds (or the whole banana if you want to eat with your baby!) with a drop of lemon.
Take the flans out of their silicone moulds, if you have used them, serve with the banana purée.
Be daring!
If your baby does not like the bitter taste of cocoa, add a teaspoon of light brown sugar and a little agave syrup to the milk before you boil it.
In summer, and from the age of 12 months, mix a small amount of strawberries or raspberries in with the banana. In autumn, a few grapes.
Add nice variations: make these flans with baby milk recommended by your paediatrician or sheep’s or goat’s milk, which are easier for babies under 12 months to digest.
