Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 pieces egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1.5 cups vanilla wafers or ladyfingers
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter a 2-quart baking dish and set aside.
Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/4-inch rounds. Set these aside for layering later.
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Warm over medium heat, stirring often, until the sugars dissolve completely, about 3-4 minutes. Do not let the mixture boil.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and flour until smooth and pale. Gradually temper the warm milk mixture into the eggs, whisking continuously to avoid curdling.
Stir in the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla extract into the custard mixture. Mix well.
Layer the vanilla wafers or ladyfingers at the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Add a layer of banana slices on top, followed by about 1/3 of the custard mixture. Repeat this process until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of custard on top.
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the assembled pudding.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. The warm pudding can be served on its own or topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
