Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar divided
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- pinch of salt
- 6 large eggs separated
- 4 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 60 Nilla Wafers
- 5 barely ripe bananas sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Whisk 1 cup sugar, flour, and salt together in the top of a double boiler.
- Stir in 6 egg yolks and milk.
- Cook over boiling water for 10-20 minutes, or until thickened, whisking constantly.
- Once thickened, remove from heat, and stir in vanilla extract.
- Spread a little of the pudding mixture in the bottom of a baking dish. I used a 10.5x7.5-inch dish.
- Layer about 20 cookies, one third of the banana slices, and one third of the custard.
- Repeat layers two more times.
- Beat 6 egg whites to soft peak stage.
- Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup sugar over egg whites; continue beating to stiff peak stage.
- Spoon egg whites over custard, sealing edges.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- Serve warm or chilled.
- Chill any leftovers.

Notes
- The bananas should not be too ripe. If they're too ripe, they will be difficult to slice, and they'll get very mushy in the pudding.
