Pudding Base

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Banana Pudding Base

    In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, flour, and salt. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble.

  2. 2

    Add Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks. Once the pudding base has thickened, slowly pour about a cup of the hot mixture into the egg yolks to temper them. Then, whisk the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan.

  3. 3

    Finish the Pudding

    Continue to cook the mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Layer the Pudding

    Slice the ripe bananas and layer them in a large serving dish. Pour half of the pudding mixture over the bananas. Repeat with another layer of bananas and the remaining pudding.

  5. 5

    Chill and Serve

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