Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Ripe bananas
- 30 pieces Vanilla wafers
- 2.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
Instructions
Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually pour in the milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Slowly add about 1/2 cup of the milk mixture into the eggs while whisking to temper them, then pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan.
Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the pudding cool slightly, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
In a trifle dish or a large glass bowl, start layering. Begin with a layer of vanilla wafers at the bottom, followed by a layer of banana slices, and a layer of the warm pudding. Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used, ending with a layer of pudding.
To make the whipped cream, use a hand mixer or a stand mixer to beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar together on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
Spread or pipe the whipped cream evenly over the top layer of pudding.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to fully set.
Before serving, optionally garnish with crushed vanilla wafers or additional banana slices. Serve chilled and enjoy!
