Pudding Base Preparation

1. Prepare the Ingredients

Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/4-inch rounds. Set aside.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.

3. Add Milk

Gradually whisk in the milk to the dry ingredients, ensuring there are no lumps.

4. Cook Mixture

Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently until the mixture thickens and bubbles, about 5-7 minutes.

5. Add Flavorings

Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and butter until melted and smooth.

6. Incorporate Bananas

Gently fold in the sliced bananas into the pudding mixture. Allow it to cool slightly.

10. Top with Whipped Cream

Spread the whipped cream over the top layer of pudding.

Slice the additional banana and arrange it on top of the whipped cream for garnish.
