You could almost call this banana curd a dessert. It is delicious and so versatile. You can pour some on your cereal, top off your oatmeal, eat it with cookies or crackers, on toast, in a smoothie, over ice cream or even as a filling for cakes. Or you can eat it by the spoonful, just like my granddaughter does!
