1
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
2
Add Milk
Gradually add the whole milk to the dry mixture, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
3
Cook Mixture
Place the saucepan over medium heat and continue stirring until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble (approximately 10-15 minutes).
4
Incorporate Eggs
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. Once the pudding mixture has thickened, slowly temper the eggs by adding a small amount of the hot pudding into the eggs while whisking. Then, pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan.
5
Final Cooking
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, continuing to stir, until the pudding is thick and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

6
Layer Ingredients
In a half pan, create layers starting with a layer of vanilla wafers on the bottom.
7
Add Bananas
Slice the ripe bananas and layer them over the vanilla wafers.
8
Pour Pudding
Spoon the prepared pudding over the bananas, ensuring an even layer.
9
Repeat Layers
Repeat the layering process with more vanilla wafers, sliced bananas, and pudding until all ingredients are used, finishing with a pudding layer.
10
Top with Whipped Cream
Spread the whipped cream evenly over the top layer of pudding for a creamy finish.
