Remember the good old days when the biggest decision was choosing between playing outside until dusk or sneaking one more spoonful of grandma’s banana pudding? Well, we’ve got a recipe that will whisk you right back to those carefree childhood moments. Let’s recreate the magic with a classic banana pudding that’s as easy to make as it is delicious.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of whole milk
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- A pinch of salt
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 box of vanilla wafers
- 5-6 ripe bananas, sliced
- Optional: Whipped cream for topping
Instructions:
- In a saucepan, mix sugar, flour, and salt. Gradually add milk over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture boils and thickens. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Temper the eggs by slowly adding a small amount of the hot mixture, stirring constantly.
- Return all the mixture to the saucepan and cook on low heat until it thickens enough to coat a spoon, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Layer vanilla wafers, sliced bananas, and pudding in a trifle dish, ending with pudding.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Top with whipped cream before serving.
