Method
Pudding Base
Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
Cook the Pudding
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly until it thickens and starts to bubble. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Add Cream and Flavor
Remove from heat and stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
Cool the Pudding
Transfer the pudding to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and let it cool to room temperature.
Layering
Prepare the Bananas
Slice the ripe bananas into thin rounds.
Layer the Ingredients
In a large serving dish or individual cups, start layering by placing a layer of vanilla wafers at the bottom, followed by a layer of banana slices, and then a layer of pudding.
Repeat Layers
Continue layering until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.
Top with Whipped Cream
Spread the whipped cream over the top layer of pudding evenly.
Chill Before Serving
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set.
