Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until well combined.

  2. 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. 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. 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. 5

    Add Butter and Vanilla

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until fully melted and combined.

  6. 6

    Slice the Bananas

    Peel and slice the ripe bananas into thin rounds.

  7. 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. 8

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Serve chilled and enjoy!
