Banana-Chocolate Flan

Caramel
Softened butter
1 tbsp water
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Lightly butter 6 (4 oz) ramekins or custard cups
Stir together water, lemon juice & sugar in a heavy pot over medium-high heat
Using a pastry brush dipped in water, brush sides of the pot just above the sugar every 30 seconds to prevent crystals from forming
Cook the sugar until a rich dark color is achieved

Immediately set the pot into a bowl of ice
Spoon cooled custard into prepared cups
If the caramel becomes too thick or sets up completely, warm it over very low heat until it is pliable again
Pour 2 tsps of caramel into each mold & turn the molds to evenly coat the bottom

Custard
2 cups milk
Peels from 2 ripe bananas
1 small pinch of salt
3 eggs
3 egg yolks
5 Tbsp granulated sugar
5 ozs milk chocolate, chopped, or 3 ozs
