1/2 cup unsalted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
1 box (3.4 oz) vanilla custard mix
2 cups whole milk (or almond/oat milk for plant-based)

Notes

Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for optimal softness

1 tbsp chia seeds can be added to dry ingredients for fiber
Use unsweetened applesauce instead of melted butter for fat-free
Chilling firms the texture for easier slicing
