Ingredients
- 3 cups (750ml) whole milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup (133g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (31g) cornstarch
- 3 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 3 ripe bananas, sliced
- 40 vanilla wafers
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons (15g) confectioners’ sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
How to Make It
1. In a medium saucepan, whisk the milk, vanilla, and salt together over medium heat. Heat until warm.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolks together. Very slowly pour the warm milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly until smooth.
3. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and heat over medium heat, whisking constantly until it begins to thicken. This takes about 5-6 minutes. Make sure the mixture comes to a low boil while whisking consistently. Remove from heat.
4. Whisk in the butter until melted and smooth.
5. Layer 1/4 of the vanilla wafers in the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish with 2 sliced bananas.
6. Pour 1/3 of the pudding on top. Repeat layers twice more ending with the pudding layer.
7. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
8. Before serving, use an electric mixer to whip the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
9. Take the pudding out of the refrigerator and add a layer of sliced bananas on top, then spread the whipped cream.
