Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Ripe bananas
- 250 grams Vanilla wafers
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Amaretto liqueur
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Toasted almonds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and slice the bananas into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar and cornstarch until well combined.
Gradually whisk in the whole milk until smooth. Add the egg yolks and stir until incorporated.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and begins to bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and Amaretto liqueur until smooth.
Transfer the custard to a heat-safe bowl, cover with plastic wrap (press it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming), and allow it to cool to room temperature.
In a glass or trifle dish, arrange a layer of vanilla wafers on the bottom.
Top with a layer of banana slices, then evenly spread a layer of custard over the bananas. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of custard.
Optional: Spread whipped cream over the top and garnish with toasted almonds for added crunch and presentation.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
