Blissful Banana Pudding Delights

Ingredients

To make our Blissful Banana Pudding Delights, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 (12-ounce) package vanilla wafers
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Recipe Directions

Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s dive into the recipe directions:

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Gradually add a small amount of the hot milk mixture to the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper them.
  3. Pour the tempered egg yolks back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until the pudding is thick and creamy.
  4. Remove the pudding from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the pudding to cool slightly.
  5. In a trifle dish or individual serving glasses, layer the vanilla wafers, sliced bananas, and pudding, repeating until all ingredients are used.
  6. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the top layer of pudding.
  7. Cover and refrigerate the banana pudding for at least 2 hours, or until chilled and set.
