Step-By-Step Instructions For Making Banana Pudding

1. Make the pudding:

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to boil.
  2. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the egg yolks. Return the pan to the heat and continue cooking, stirring constantly, for an additional minute.
  3. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Transfer the pudding to a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing the plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until cold.

2. Layer the pudding:

  1. In a large trifle dish or glass bowl, layer the vanilla wafers, sliced bananas, and pudding, repeating until all ingredients are used up.
  2. Finish with a layer of whipped topping, spreading it evenly over the top of the pudding.
  3. Refrigerate the pudding for at least 1 hour, or until chilled, before serving.

This Not Your Mama's Banana Pudding recipe is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. The addition of whipped topping adds an extra layer of creaminess, while the pudding itself is rich and flavorful.
