Banana Pudding Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Make the Banana Pudding Base

    In a saucepan, combine milk, cornstarch, and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let it cool slightly, then fold in sliced bananas.

  2. 2

    Prepare the PX Cream

    In a mixing bowl, whip heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the banana pudding mixture until well combined.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Pudding

    In a serving dish, layer pecan wafers, followed by the banana pudding mixture. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with the pudding on top.

  4. 4

    Make the Toasted Meringue

    In a clean mixing bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Spread the meringue over the top of the pudding.

  5. 5

    Toast the Meringue

    Using a kitchen torch or broiler, toast the meringue until golden brown. Be careful not to burn it.

  6. 6

    Chill and Serve

    Refrigerate the assembled banana pudding for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to set.
