Ingredients:
- 3 ripe bananas
- 2 cups of milk
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1/4 cup of cornstarch
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and heavy cream over medium heat. Make sure to stir frequently so that the milk doesn't scorch.
- While the milk is heating up, in a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt. Make sure to whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Once the milk and heavy cream mixture has come to a boil, remove it from the heat and slowly pour it into the bowl with the egg mixture. Make sure to whisk the egg mixture constantly while pouring in the hot milk, so that the eggs don't curdle.
- Return the entire mixture back to the saucepan that you used to heat the milk mixture. Cook the pudding over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the pudding has thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
- While the pudding is cooling, slice the bananas into thin rounds and set them aside.
- In a large serving dish, layer the sliced bananas on the bottom.
- Once the pudding has cooled for a few minutes, pour it over the bananas in the serving dish.
- Chill the banana pudding in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until it is fully set.
- Once the pudding has set, you can top it with some whipped cream and chocolate shavings if you like.
