Steps:
- 1. Whisk together sugar, cornstarch, nutmeg and salt in a medium saucepan, then whisk in half and half and egg yolks. Place over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until pudding thickens and begins to boil, 5-8 minutes. Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla. Whisk until butter has melted. Transfer pudding to a bowl and refrigerate until cold, about 3 hours.
- 2. In your preferred serving dish (I used individual parfait glasses. You could also use ramekins or even a casserole dish if serving a bigger crowd), create two sets of layers using the bananas, 1/3 of the pudding and Nilla wafers. Top with the remaining 1/3 of the pudding.
- 3. Before serving, top with whipped cream and additional banana slices and Nilla wafers, if desired. ENJOY!!

Tips:
- Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your pudding will be.
- Use full-fat milk and cream: These will give your pudding a richer, creamier texture.
- Don't overcook the pudding: Overcooked pudding will be thick and rubbery. Cook it just until it has thickened slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
- Chill the pudding before serving: This will allow it to set and develop its full flavor.
- Top the pudding with whipped cream, vanilla wafers, or fresh fruit: These toppings will add extra flavor and texture to your pudding.
Conclusion:
Nilla banana pudding is a classic dessert that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With its creamy texture, sweet banana flavor, and crunchy vanilla wafers, it's the perfect treat for any occasion. Whether you're serving it at a party or enjoying it as a simple weeknight dessert, nilla banana pudding is sure to be a hit.
