1
Prepare the Base
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until well combined.
2
Heat the Mixture
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, constantly stirring, until it thickens and begins to boil (about 5-7 minutes).
3
Temper the Egg Yolks
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually pour a small amount of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper them.
4
Combine and Cook
Return the tempered egg yolk mixture to the saucepan and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until thickened.
5
Add Butter and Vanilla
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until fully melted and combined.
6
Slice the Bananas
Peel and slice the ripe bananas into thin rounds.
7
Layer the Ingredients
In a trifle dish or bowl, start by adding a layer of vanilla wafers, followed by a layer of banana slices, and then a layer of the pudding mixture. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with the pudding on top.
8
Chill and Serve
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Serve chilled and enjoy!
