Ingredients
- 6 eggs yolks, and whites separated
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups whole milk
- pinch of sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 whipped cream recipe
- 1 box of vanilla wafers
- 4 peeled and thinly sliced large bananas
Instructions
- Add 6 whisked egg yolks, ¾ cup of sugar, flour, milk, and salt to a medium-size saucepot and cook over low heat for about 12-15 minutes while constantly stirring until it becomes very thick.
- Remove the custard from the stove and stir in the vanilla. Cool completely in the refrigerator, which takes about 45 minutes.
- Once it’s cool slowly add the custard into a stand mixer with the whipped cream recipe and mix on low speed with the whisk attachment until completely combined.
- Evenly spread 1/3 of the whipped cream custard to the bottom of a deep 13x9 casserole pan and then layer on the wafers and bananas followed up by adding on another 1/3 of the whipped cream custard.
- Repeat the process 1 more time until all of the ingredients have been used. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment whisk the eggs on medium speed until soft peaks have formed, which takes about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Turn the speed up to high and slowly sprinkle in ¼ cup of sugar until mixed in. Continue to whisk until medium-stiff peaks have formed to make a meringue.
- Spread the meringue over the top of the banana pudding evenly and then using a torch brown the top of the meringue.
Notes
- Chef Notes:
- Make-Ahead: You can make this up to 1 day ahead of time, just keep it covered and refrigerated before serving.
- How to Store: Cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. This will not freeze well as it will cause the custard to break when thawing.
- If you don’t have a torch you can bake in the oven at 400° for 7-10 minutes or until the meringue is browned on top.
- Just in case you are in a pinch you can substitute the homemade whipped cream with 1 tub of cool whip.
- Be sure that the bananas are just ripe when making this recipe.
