Method

Pudding Base

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Begin by slicing 4 medium bananas into thin rounds and set aside.

  2. 2

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine 2 tbs of granulated sugar, 1 tbs of cornstarch, and 1 tsp of salt. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Add Milk and Egg Yolks

    Gradually whisk in 2 cups of whole milk and 3 large egg yolks into the dry mixture, ensuring there are no lumps.

  4. 4

    Cook the Mixture

    Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly until it thickens and starts to bubble (about 5-7 minutes).

  5. 5

    Flavor the Pudding

    Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Mix well and let it cool slightly.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Layer the Ingredients

    In a large serving dish, layer the bottom with 1 cup of vanilla wafers, followed by a layer of the sliced bananas (half of the sliced bananas).

  2. 7

    Add Pudding

    Pour half of the pudding mixture over the banana layer and spread evenly.

  3. 8

    Repeat Layers

    Repeat the layers by adding another cup of vanilla wafers, the remaining sliced bananas, and the rest of the pudding.

  4. 9

    Top with Whipped Cream

    Finally, spread 2 cups of whipped cream over the top of the pudding. You can also garnish with additional banana slices if desired.

  5. 10

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
