Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 Egg Yolks
3/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
1/4 Cup Corn Starch
2 Vanilla Bean (Slit)
2 Cups Whole Milk
1 Cup Heavy Cream (Whipped )
3 Bananas (Sliced )
2 Cups Nilla Wafers (Regular or Mini )
1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
3 Tablespoon Powdered Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, 1/2 cup granulated sugar and cornstarch until thick and smooth; set aside
  • In a medium saucepan combine the milk, vanilla bean split in half and the seeds scraped out and the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and bring to a simmer.
  • Once the milk is brought to a simmer, remove the saucepan from the heat and slowly pour about half of the hot milk into the egg mixture while whisking constantly to *temper the eggs. (temper means to slowly warm the eggs by adding a small amount of milk to the egg milk to bring them to the same temperature)
  • Once the eggs are tempered, pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remainder of the milk, continue whisking the egg and milk mixture to avoid the eggs from curdling.
  • On low to medium heat, whisk the custard vigorously until it starts to thicken and begins to bubble. While whisking, let the custard come to a slow boil, lower the heat and allow the custard to cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat, pour it into a glass bowl and immediately press plastic wrap to cover the surface of the custard to avoid a skin from forming.
  • Allow the custard to cool completely in the refrigerator for 1 hour
  • Once the custard is chilled, whip one cup of heavy cream to stiff peak and fold it into the pastry cream to make a smooth and creamy filling.
  • In mixing bowl with whisk attachment, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Whisk until the heavy cream comes to soft peaks; set aside
  • Using 4 individual trifles dishes or one large trifle dish, start layering the vanilla pudding in the bottom of each glass, followed by Nilla Wafers and then sliced bananas; repeat each step one time finishing with fresh whipped cream to garish
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. (Recommended to serve within a few hours of assembling)

Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch of table salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
About 45 vanilla wafers, such as Nilla
8 bananas, sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 cups whole milk
6 eggs, separated
1 1/4 cups sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat the milk in a medium saucepan to a simmer over medium heat. In a second medium saucepan, whisk the egg yolks with 3/4 cup of the sugar until thick and light. Stir in the flour and salt to make a smooth paste.
  • Whisk the scalded milk into the egg mixture, blend well and then return the pan to gentle heat. (Make sure the cream is perfectly smooth before letting it boil!) Whisk until boiling. Continue to cook the cream, whisking constantly, until thick and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine. Strain the pastry cream into a bowl; set aside.
  • Place a layer of the vanilla wafers all over the bottom of a medium baking dish (9-by-13-inch). Spread half of the reserved pastry cream on top of the wafers. Place the bananas evenly over the pastry cream in the baking dish. Top with a second layer of wafers. Spoon the remaining pastry cream over the wafers; set aside.
  • In a heavy-duty mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, a little at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Spoon the meringue over the pastry cream and spread evenly to cover the entire surface, sealing well at the edges. Using a spatula, make curls and peaks in the meringue.
  • Bake until lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool slightly. Serve immediately, warm or cold.

Grandma's Banana Pudding image

My grandma ran a country club and a restaurant in her day. She can make amazing food, but sometimes it's hard to get a recipe from her because she doesn't measure anything and makes everything from memory. While letting her talk it out, I was able to get this banana pudding and a few other recipes written down. Enjoy!

GRANDMA RENE'S OLD-FASHIONED BANANA PUDDING



Grandma Rene's Old-Fashioned Banana Pudding image

This was the way my mom made banana pudding. You'll find no vanilla pudding mix in this! It's all homemade and with love. I used a saucepan on the stove to cook the custard, but you have to constantly stir it to keep it from scalding on the bottom because it needs to come to a boil (bubble) to thicken. If you're not comfortable doing that, try using a double-boiler. But it must bubble. For extra zip in the custard, add 1/4 tsp. of lemon oil or 1 tablespoon of lemon zest. The meringue is simple and delicious. If you want a mile-high meringue, use 6 eggs whites (any leftovers in the freezer? Take 'em out!) and 1/2 cup sugar with 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar and a pinch of salt. Eggs are easier to separate when they're cold. So do so, and let them come to room temp before using. Bananas are best if they're ripe and sweet. Don't get any that are green. If yours are green, wait for them to ripen (putting them in a brown paper bag will speed the process). Don't worry about having too many bananas....it's great piled high with all the ingredients! Best served warm, but good either way. Zap in microwave if you have kept it in the refrigerator for hot banana pudding! This is one of my favorite comfort foods!

Time 30m

Yield 6 , 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup sugar
4 tablespoons flour
1 pinch salt
2 cups whole milk
3 large egg yolks (save the whites)
1 large whole egg
1 teaspoon lemon oil (optional)
1 tablespoon lemon zest (fresh- also optional)
6 -7 bananas (a bunch)
15 ounces vanilla wafers (1 box)
3 egg whites (room temperature)
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a saucepan or double-boiler, mix the sugar, flour, salt, milk, egg yolks and whole egg. Cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly to bring up to a good temperature. Slowly increase heat until mixture thickens and bubbles and becomes thick. It will coat the back of a wooden spoon and when you draw your finger down the middle of the back of the spoon, the separation remains.
  • Remove from heat and add vanilla and lemon oil or zest if using.
  • Slice bananas 1/4" to 1/2" thick, whatever your preference.
  • Use a 2 quart souffle dish or 10-inch pie plate. Layer vanilla wafers on bottom. Top with some bananas, followed by the custard. Repeat until all the custard is used. Finish with custard and wafers pressed down into it.
  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • MERINGUE:.
  • Take room temperature egg whites and add cream of tartar and pinch of salt. Beat til foamy. As volume increases, slowly add sugar. Whip til glossy but not dry. Stop mixer and add vanilla. Whip til incorporated and meringue stands in stiff peaks but it not dry. Meringue should still have a nice sheen to it.
  • Dump meringue on top of prepared banana pudding mixture and spread out to the edges and seal to the edge using a spatula. Sealing is important as the meringue will shrink from the edges if you don't.
  • Bake in a 350 oven for 8-10 minutes, til golden brown. If you've tall peaks, watch closely for browning of the tips. They can brown really fast.
  • Remove from oven and cool on countertop. Serve warm or put in refrigerator when completely cool to keep meringue from sweating.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your pudding will be.
  • Don't overcook the pudding: The pudding should be thick and creamy, but not too thick. If you overcook it, it will become dry and rubbery.
  • Chill the pudding before serving: This will help the pudding to set and become more firm.
  • Serve the pudding with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include whipped cream, vanilla wafers, and fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

Old-fashioned rich vanilla banana pudding is a classic dessert that is loved by people of all ages. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it simple or dressed up with toppings, this pudding is sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
