Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Sour cream
- 12 ounces Vanilla wafers
- 4 pieces Bananas
- 1 cup Whipped cream
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt.
Gradually whisk in the whole milk to dissolve the dry ingredients. Heat over medium, stirring regularly.
Lightly whisk the eggs in a separate bowl. Once the milk mixture is warm but not boiling, temper the eggs by slowly whisking in about 1/2 cup of the warm liquid. Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened to the consistency of a custard, about 8–10 minutes.
Remove from heat and immediately stir in the butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
Allow the custard to cool for 10 minutes, then fold in the sour cream until fully incorporated. Set aside.
Slice the bananas into 1/4-inch rounds. In a serving dish or individual cups, layer vanilla wafers, sliced bananas, and the custard. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of custard.
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill and allow flavors to meld.
Just before serving, top with whipped cream and garnish with additional banana slices or crushed vanilla wafers if desired.
