Description

This creamy and decadent banana pudding is layered with sweet bananas, vanilla wafers, and a rich homemade pudding. Topped with whipped cream, it’s the ultimate dessert for any occasion.

Ingredients

Units Scale

For 8-10 servings:

  • For the pudding:
    • 3 cups (750 ml) whole milk
    • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
    • 1/4 cup (30 g) cornstarch
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 4 large egg yolks
    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • For the layers:
    • 4-5 ripe bananas, sliced
    • 1 box (12 oz / 340 g) vanilla wafers
  • For the topping:
    • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
    • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Make the pudding:
    • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.
    • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly add a small amount of the hot milk mixture to the yolks, whisking continuously to temper them.
    • Pour the tempered yolks back into the saucepan, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the pudding thickens.
    • Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract. Let the pudding cool slightly.
  2. Assemble the banana pudding:
    • In a large serving dish or trifle bowl, spread a thin layer of pudding at the bottom.
    • Add a layer of vanilla wafers, followed by a layer of sliced bananas. Top with a layer of pudding.
    • Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.
  3. Prepare the whipped topping:
    • In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  4. Top and chill:
    • Spread the whipped cream over the top layer of pudding. Crush a few vanilla wafers and sprinkle them on top for garnish.
    • Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the wafers to soften.
  5. Serve:
    • Serve chilled and enjoy the creamy, banana-filled layers!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a splash of banana extract to the pudding or whipped cream.
  • Use homemade whipped cream for the best results, but store-bought whipped topping can be used as a shortcut.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
