Step 1
Heat cream in a skillet over medium until small bubbles form around the edges, ~3 minutes.
Step 2
Whisk egg yolks with 2 tbsp sugar until pale, ~2 minutes. Slowly add warm cream while whisking constantly.
Step 3
Return mixture to skillet over low heat. Stir gently until it coats the back of a spoon, 4–5 minutes. Do not boil.
Step 4
Pour custard into four shallow bowls or glasses. Divide banana slices among them. Let cool 2 minutes.
Step 5
Sprinkle remaining sugar evenly over each banana portion. Use a kitchen torch or hold over a gas flame until sugar melts and browns, ~90 seconds per serving.
Step 6
Top with strawberries and blackberries. Serve immediately while sugar shell is still crackling.
