Ingredients
Method
Directions
Prepare the Pudding Base
In a medium saucepan, combine milk, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Stir over medium heat until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
Incorporate Vanilla
Once the pudding base has thickened, remove it from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let it cool for 10 minutes.
Slice the Bananas
While the pudding cools, peel and slice the ripe bananas into thin rounds.
Layer the Ingredients
In a trifle dish or individual serving cups, start with a layer of vanilla wafers at the bottom. Add a layer of sliced bananas on top of the wafers.
Add Pudding
Pour a layer of the pudding over the bananas, ensuring it covers them completely.
Repeat Layers
Repeat the layering process with remaining vanilla wafers, bananas, and pudding until all ingredients are used up, finishing with pudding on top.
Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. This will be used for the topping.
Top the Pudding
Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the top layer of pudding. Optionally, you can crumble some extra vanilla wafers on top for garnish.
Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the banana pudding for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set.
