Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 egg yolks
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 ripe bananas
  • 8 ounces vanilla wafer cookies
  • 1 1/2  cups whipping cream
  • 4 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instruction

  • Add sugar, flour, salt, egg yolks, and milk to a large saucepan.  Whisk to combine and place over low heat.  Cook until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon whisking constantly; approximately 12-15 minutes. Using a spoon scrap the bottom edge of the pan several times during the cooking process.  Remove from the heat and whisk several times to cool.  Whisk in vanilla and butter.  To prevent a skin from forming on the custard place a piece of plastic wrap right on top of the pudding.
  • Meanwhile using a stand mixer (with whisk attachment) on medium beat whipping cream while adding the powdered sugar 1 tablespoon at a time. Beat until stiff peaks form.
  • To assemble dessert place a row of vanilla wafers in 8×11 or 9×9 inch casserole dish.  Slice 2 bananas over the top and cover with half the pudding.  Then place another row of vanilla wafers (this row does not need to be as tight or clean).  Slice 2 bananas over the top and cover with remaining pudding.
  • Carefully spread the whipped cream over the top.  Refrigerate for 1-3 hours before serving.
