Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe bananas
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
- 1 cup vegan vanilla wafers
- 1 cup coconut whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
Peel and slice two bananas into thin rounds and set them aside for layering.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Once the pudding is thickened, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Mash the remaining two bananas in a bowl and stir them into the pudding mixture until well combined.
In serving dishes or a single large dish, layer the vegan vanilla wafers, banana slices, and the pudding mixture. Repeat until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.
Cover the dish(es) with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set.
When ready to serve, top with coconut whipped cream, if desired, and additional banana slices or vanilla wafers for garnish. Serve chilled.
