Certainly! Here’s a classic Banana Pudding recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups whole milk
- 4 large egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 box (12 ounces) vanilla wafers
- Whipped cream (homemade or store-bought), for topping
- Additional banana slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pudding Mixture:
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, flour, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg yolks until well combined.
- Gradually whisk the milk mixture into the dry ingredients in the saucepan until smooth.
- Cook the Pudding:
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil, about 8-10 minutes.
- Once the pudding has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let it cool slightly.
- Assemble the Banana Pudding:
- In a trifle dish or a large glass bowl, layer vanilla wafers on the bottom.
- Top the wafers with a layer of sliced bananas.
- Pour half of the pudding mixture over the bananas, spreading it out evenly.
- Repeat the layers with more vanilla wafers, sliced bananas, and the remaining pudding mixture.
- Chill:
- Cover the assembled pudding with plastic wrap, ensuring that the wrap touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate the banana pudding for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set and the flavors to meld.
- Serve:
- Before serving, top the chilled banana pudding with a layer of whipped cream.
- Optionally, garnish with additional banana slices.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
