Yield: 8 portions

Banana custard may also be made with packaged vanilla pudding, but the or "no- bake" custard requires no cooking and gives a result comparable to the custard served in Zanzibar. Pineapple, crushed or diced, may be added or substituted for the bananas and some orange sections would improve the color. Since Zanzibar is the Spice Island the strong use of cloves and cinnamon as garnish add greatly to the authenticity as well as the flavor of the dish.

In a 1-quart bowl:

Prepare 3 cups NO-BAKE CUSTARD following package directions.

Slice 3 BANANAS into 8 champagne glasses.

Spoon the custard over the bananas.

Chill and permit the custard to set.

In a small bowl:

Combine: 1 tsp. CINNAMON

1/2 tsp. GROUND CLOVES

1/4 tsp. NUTMEG

1/2 cup SUGAR

4 Tbs. PEANUTS finely chopped.

Sprinkle 1 heaping tablespoon of the spice mixture over each custard.

Decorate with whipped cream if desired.
