Steps:
- Purée the bananas with a stick blender and tip into a heavy-bottomed saucepan with the cream. Heat gently until steaming, stirring all the time. Meanwhile, whisk together the sugar and eggs. Pour the hot banana cream over the eggs and whisk well to combine, then tip everything back into the saucepan.
- Cook over a low heat, stirring continuously, until thick and the mixture reaches 78C on a digital cooking thermometer. You'll need to stir constantly, scraping the bottom of the pan so the eggs don't overcook or burn. Add the lime zest, whizz up again with a hand blender, pass the mixture through a sieve into a jug and pour into six serving glasses, ramekins or one large dish. Cover with cling film, then chill for at least 3 hrs, but preferably overnight, until set. Remove from the fridge and sprinkle with the dates, honeycomb, pistachios and banana chips to serve.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your custard will be.
- Don't overcook the custard: The custard should be thick and creamy, but not too thick or curdled.
- Let the custard cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the custard to set properly.
- Serve the custard with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include fresh fruit, whipped cream, and granola.
- Honeycomb can be made ahead of time: It can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
- When making honeycomb, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help to prevent the sugar from burning.
- Be careful not to overcook the honeycomb: It should be a light golden color.
- Let the honeycomb cool completely before breaking it into pieces: This will make it easier to handle.
