1
Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt until smooth.
2
Heat Mixture
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Incorporate Egg Yolks
In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks. Gradually add a few spoonfuls of the hot pudding mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly to temper them. Once mixed, return the yolk mixture to the saucepan.
4
Finish Cooking
Continue to cook the pudding for another 2-3 minutes, stirring until it thickens to a custard-like consistency. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

5
Layer the Ingredients
In a serving dish, arrange a layer of vanilla wafers at the bottom, followed by a layer of sliced bananas, and then pour a layer of the pudding over the top.
6
Repeat Layers
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.
7
Top with Whipped Cream
Spread whipped cream over the final layer of pudding. For decoration, you can also add additional banana slices and crushed vanilla wafers.
8
Chill
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
