BANANA PUDDING
Author: Tag Sale Tastes
Ingredients
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2-3 teaspoons bourbon (optional)
  • 1 box vanilla wafers (there will be some left over)
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • For the topping:
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Instructions
  1. In a saucepan, whisk together the sugar, flour and ½ teaspoon salt. Stir in the whole egg and 3 yolks, and then stir in the milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes, being careful not to let the bottom burn. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and bourbon.
  2. Spread a thin layer of the pudding in a shallow 1-1/2-quart casserole dish. Arrange a layer of vanilla wafers on top of the pudding. Thinly slice the bananas crosswise and arrange a layer of banana slices over the wafers. Spread one-third of the remaining pudding over the bananas and continue layering wafers, bananas, and pudding, ending with pudding.
  3. To make the topping, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Spread decoratively over the top of the pudding. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
