BUTTERMILK BANANA PUDDING WITH SALTED PEANUTS



Buttermilk Banana Pudding With Salted Peanuts image

Banana pudding typically sits on the sweeter side of the dessert spectrum. Despite layers of instant pudding, vanilla cookies, sliced bananas and meringue or whipped cream, the sweet snack can feel a little one-note. But with a few simple tweaks and some new ingredients, it can feel fresh. The addition of buttermilk gives the custard a tangy zip of acidity, and tossing the Nilla Wafers with salted brown butter imparts a nutty, caramel-like flavor. Sour cream is incorporated into the whipped-cream topping, which helps the heavy cream stay firm while refrigerated and turning this into a fail-proof make-ahead dish. Garnishing the top with some more crushed cookies and chopped salted peanuts provides the pudding with crunch.

Time 45m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup granulated sugar
4 egg yolks
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup buttermilk
4 tablespoons salted butter (1/2 stick)
1 (11-ounce) box vanilla wafer cookies, such as Nilla Wafers
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
4 large bananas, sliced
1/2 cup salted peanuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Prepare the pudding: Add milk, heavy cream and vanilla extract to a medium saucepan and heat over medium. Meanwhile, whisk together sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch and salt in a medium heatproof bowl. Once the milk begins to bubble slightly around the edges, remove from heat. Slowly pour a ladleful of the warm milk into the yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Continue to slowly incorporate the rest of the warm milk, ladle by ladle, into the yolk mixture until thoroughly combined.
  • Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and heat over medium. Whisk until the mixture begins to bubble and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the warm pudding into a large heatproof bowl and let cool for 5 minutes before whisking in the buttermilk. Place plastic wrap over the pudding, gently pressing the wrap to touch the top of the pudding. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before using.
  • Prepare the cookie layer: Add the salted butter to a large sauté pan or deep skillet and melt over medium-low. Cook, stirring often, until the butter begins to foam. Once the butter gives off a nutty scent and darkens to a caramel-like color, about 4 minutes, remove the pan from the heat and add the wafers. Toss the Nilla Wafers to coat them with butter. Set aside.
  • Prepare the whipped cream: Whip 1½ cups heavy cream in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or with a hand mixer on medium-high until it forms soft peaks, about 3 minutes. Turn off the mixer and add the sour cream. Turn the mixer on low and gradually add the confectioners' sugar. Once incorporated, whip on high until the cream has formed soft peaks again. Set aside.
  • Reserve 12 Nilla Wafers for garnish. Pour the rest of the cookies into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and arrange in an even layer. Scatter the sliced bananas evenly on top. Pour the chilled pudding over the bananas and spread the pudding in an even layer to coat. Top with the whipped cream mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours).
  • Place the remaining Nilla Wafers in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Remove the pudding from the refrigerator and garnish with crushed cookies and chopped peanuts just before serving.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon fine salt
2 large eggs
1¾ cups buttermilk, at room temperature
1 very ripe banana, mashed, plus 1 banana, for serving (optional)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for the waffle iron
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ cup heavy cream, very cold
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
½ cup toasted walnuts, broken into small pieces
Maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl until frothy; add the buttermilk, mashed banana, 4 tablespoons of the butter and vanilla and stir to combine. Stir the wet mixture into the dry until just combined, taking care not to over mix. Cover with plastic wrap and let the mixture rest for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high. Preheat the oven to 200°F. Brush the inside of the iron evenly with some of the remaining butter. Pour in enough batter to lightly cover the surface of the iron, about 1/3 to 3/4 cup, depending on the size of the iron. (Take into consideration that the batter will spread once the lid is closed.) Cook until the waffles are crisp and golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Repeat with the remaining butter and batter, keeping the cooked waffles warm in the oven until ready to serve.
  • Whisk the cream and confectioner's sugar in a medium bowl until soft peaks form. Slice the remaining banana if using. Serve the waffles topped with the whipped cream, banana slices and walnuts and drizzled with maple syrup.

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Cooking spray, for the parchment
3 to 4 medium ripe bananas
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon plus 1 pinch kosher salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 large eggs plus 3 yolks
4 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
30 to 40 peanut butter sandwich cookies
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
4 ounces semisweet chocolate chips or chopped semisweet chocolate
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • For the pudding: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment and spray the parchment with cooking spray.
  • Thinly slice the bananas crosswise, about 1/8 inch thick. Toss the bananas in a bowl with the cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Place in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the bananas start to brown on the edges, about 10 minutes.
  • In a saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in the whole eggs and yolks, and then stir in the milk. Cook uncovered, stirring often, until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
  • Spread a thin layer of the pudding in a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Arrange a layer of sandwich cookies on top of the pudding, and arrange a third of the roasted banana slices over the cookies. Spread a third of the remaining pudding over the bananas and continue layering cookies, bananas and pudding, ending with pudding, so you have 3 layers total. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
  • Whip together the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer to stiff peaks. Spread over the banana pudding.
  • For the ganache: Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat the cream until hot but not simmering. Pour over top of the chocolate and let sit for a minute before stirring to melt and combine. Drizzle the ganache over the pudding. Spoon the pudding into bowls and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Peanut Butter and Banana Pudding Pie image

This decadent pudding pie capitalizes on the iconic duo: peanut butter and banana. A sweet amalgamation of banana pudding and peanut butter pie, this dessert has "crowd favorite" written all over it. Be sure to note that the recipe calls for a deep-dish pie plate, as the filling would overfill a standard pie dish. Top with crumbled wafers and banana slices, as desired.

Provided by Darcy Lenz

Time 9h35m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 ¾ cups crushed vanilla wafers
2 tablespoons white sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup creamy peanut butter, divided
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 medium ripe banana, thinly sliced
1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
4 large egg yolks
1 cup white sugar
¼ cup cornstarch
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 ¼ cups half-and-half
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, cut into pieces
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon banana extract
¾ cup crushed vanilla wafers
1 medium ripe banana, thinly sliced
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, sifted
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Whisk cookie crumbs, sugar, and salt for crust together in a medium bowl. Stir in the melted butter until mixture is coated and moist. Press the crumb mixture evenly along the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch, deep-dish pie plate.
  • Bake crust in the preheated oven until golden brown and firm, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Melt 1/2 cup of the peanut butter and butter for the peanut butter layer in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, whisking to combine. Once melted, set aside to cool slightly, about 2 minutes. Pour mixture into bottom of the cooled crust, carefully smoothing into an even layer with a silicone spatula. Arrange the banana slices in an even layer over the peanut butter.
  • Combine the remaining ½ cup peanut butter and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl. Cut the peanut butter into the sugar using a fork until a crumbly, streusel-like mixture forms; you will get about 2 scant cups of this mixture. Sprinkle about half of this mixture over the sliced bananas. Gently press with clean fingertips into a relatively even layer. Place pie in refrigerator while you make the pudding.
  • Beat egg yolks for banana pudding layer with a whisk in a medium bowl until well combined; set aside. Whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan to evenly combine. Whisk in half-and-half, making sure all ingredients are well distributed. Place the pan over medium heat; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture has thickened slightly and gently begins to simmer, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove pan from heat and, while whisking rapidly, slowly drizzle about ½ to 1 cup of the hot cream mixture into the eggs to temper. Keep whisking until smooth and combined. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and return to medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens further, 3 to 6 minutes. Remove pan from heat and whisk in the butter, vanilla, and banana extract.
  • Pour the pudding mixture into a large mixing bowl and press a sheet of plastic wrap onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a "skin" from forming. Cool to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Once pudding has cooled, pour about half of the pudding into the pie shell. Sprinkle the crumbled wafers in an even layer over top. Arrange the banana slices over the wafers. Sprinkle the remaining peanut butter crumble mixture over the bananas. Pour remaining pudding over top. (Some of the peanut butter crumble and banana slices may float towards the surface; that's just fine. Smooth the surface as well as you can with a silicone spatula.) Place a piece of plastic wrap directly onto surface of the pudding filling to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for 8 hours, or overnight.
  • When ready to serve, combine heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla for topping in a chilled mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment until medium-soft peaks form. Spoon the whipped cream on top of the pie.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas with a few brown spots for the best flavor in your pudding.
  • Use a quality vanilla extract for the best flavor. Imitation vanilla will not produce the same results.
  • Don't overmix the pudding. Overmixing can cause the pudding to become tough.
  • Chill the pudding for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set.
  • Serve the pudding with whipped cream or ice cream for a decadent dessert.
