Ingredients
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 3 cups milk
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 3 bananas peeled and sliced
- 12 ounces vanilla wafers (1 box)
- Whipped Cream for garnish
Instructions
Pudding
- Mix together sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Whisk while pouring in milk slowly into the pan, to prevent clumps.
- In a small bowl beat egg yolks. Set aside.
- Cook the milk mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Once the milk mixture begins to thicken, add a 1/4 of warm milk to the egg yolks VERY slowly while mixing constantly. (This makes sure you don't scramble your egg yolks.)
- Add the tempered eggs into the saucepan, whisking constantly. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat. Add vanilla and butter. Stir until butter is completely melted. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
Cup of Yum
Assembly
- Line the bottom of a mason jar with vanilla wafers and then a layer of banana slices.
- Top the bananas with pudding, enough to cover the bananas. Alternate layering the bananas, wafers, and pudding until you've almost filled the jar.
- Top the jar off with whipped cream. Cover jar with lid and place in the fridge until cold. Garnish with extra banana slices and wafers, if desired.
Notes
- Yield will vary depending on the size of your mason jars. I like the 8-ounce jars for mini desserts.
- You can assemble this recipe in an 8-inch x 8-inch baking dish instead of jars if you prefer.
