Pudding Base Preparation

1

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, flour, and salt until well combined.

2

Add Milk

Gradually whisk in the milk to the dry ingredients, ensuring there are no lumps.

3

Cook the Mixture

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens (about 10-15 minutes).

4

Temper the Egg Yolks

In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks. Once the pudding mixture has thickened, slowly whisk about a cup of the hot pudding into the egg yolks to temper them.

5

Combine Egg Yolks with Pudding

Slowly whisk the tempered egg yolks back into the saucepan with the pudding mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.

6

Add Vanilla Extract

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the pudding to cool slightly.

Assembly

7

Layer the Ingredients

In a large trifle dish or serving bowl, start by placing a layer of vanilla wafers at the bottom.

8

Add Banana Slices

Slice the ripe bananas and add a layer over the vanilla wafers.

9

Pour Pudding

Spoon a layer of the prepared pudding over the banana slices.

10

Repeat Layers

Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.

11

Top with Whipped Cream

Spread a generous amount of whipped cream over the top layer of pudding.

12

Chill

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
