  • Total Time: 4 hours 40 mins
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

5–6 medium Ripe Bananas
1 box Vanilla Wafers (11 ounces)
3 cups Whole Milk
3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
3 Large Eggs, yolks only
2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
1 1/2 cups Heavy Cream, chilled (for optional topping)
2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar (for optional topping)
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (for optional topping)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the whole milk, granulated sugar, and all-purpose flour until smooth. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil, about 8-10 minutes
  2. Lightly beat the three egg yolks in a small bowl. Once the milk mixture is hot and thick, remove about 1/2 cup of the hot mixture and slowly drizzle it into the beaten egg yolks, whisking continuously
  3. Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot milk mixture. Return to medium heat. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens considerably
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the unsalted butter and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and smooth
  5. Transfer the hot pudding to a large bowl. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours until thoroughly chilled and firm
  6. Choose a 9×13 inch baking dish or a large trifle bowl. Spread a thin layer of pudding on the bottom. Arrange a single layer of vanilla wafers over the pudding. Top the wafers with a layer of sliced bananas. Repeat these layers until you use all ingredients
  7. In a cold bowl with cold beaters, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract on high speed until soft peaks form
  8. Spread the whipped cream over the top layer of pudding. Garnish with a few extra vanilla wafers or banana slices, if desired. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight

Notes

Pudding can be made ahead of time for convenience. Best results are achieved with overnight chilling.
