The Best Banana Pudding
Ingredients Needed
This recipe is made with from-scratch vanilla custard, fresh whipped cream, bananas, and vanilla wafters. The taste is pure and delicious.
Simmer sugar, cornstarch, a pinch of salt, egg yolks, and milk together over medium heat until just warmed and thickened, whisking frequently. Stir in vanilla and then pour custard over strainer and chill.
1
Whip fresh heavy cream until soft, yet firm peaks form.
2
Gently fold the cream into the chilled custard, being careful to not deflate the whipped cream.
3
Slice the bananas into a bowl with a tiny bit of lemon juice and gently toss to coat.
4
In a trifle, layer in a third of the pudding mixture. Top with half the vanilla wafers, then half the sliced bananas. Repeat the layers, ending with a final layer of the pudding.
5
Alternatively, you can layer the ingredients in small glass serving dishes for serving.
