Preparation:
To cook:
Level: Easy
Serves: 12
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sugar
- ½ cups All purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 8 Egg yolk
- 1-½ cup Milk
- 1-½ cup Half half
- ½ teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- ½ cups Whipped cream
- 4 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 8 ounces, weight Vanilla Wafers
- 4 Bananas
Preparation
Add the sugar, flour, salt, egg yolks, milk and half and half mixture to a large saucepan. Whisk to combine and place over low heat. Cook until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, whisking constantly, about 12 to 15 minutes. Using a spoon, scrape the bottom edge of the pan several times during cooking. Remove from heat and whisk several times to cool.
Whisk in vanilla and butter. Continue whisking every few minutes until the pudding reaches almost room temperature.
Meanwhile, using a stand mixer (with whisk attachment) over medium heat, beat the whipping cream while adding the powdered sugar 1 tablespoon at a time. Beat until stiff peaks form.
To assemble the dessert, place a row of vanilla wafers in an 8×11 or 9×9 inch pan. Slice 2 bananas on top and cover with half the pudding. Then place another row of vanilla wafers (this row doesn’t need to be as tight or clean). Slice 2 bananas on top and cover with the remaining pudding.
Gently spread the whipped cream on top. Refrigerate for 1 to 3 hours before serving.
Remarks:
• A hand mixer with beaters can also be used.
• Store all leftovers in the refrigerator.
