Categories     dessert

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 1/4 cups milk
3 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 medium bananas, sliced crosswise about 1/4-inch thick
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Whisk 1/4 cup of the sugar and the cornstarch together in a medium saucepan. Whisk in 1/4 cup of the milk and the egg yolks until smooth. Whisk in the remaining 2 cups milk and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring and scraping the bottom and corners of the pan often with a heatproof rubber spatula. Once boiling, stir constantly, until thick, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in 1 tablespoon of butter and the vanilla. Divide the pudding among 4 small glasses.
  • Combine the remaining 1/2 cup sugar with 2 tablespoons water in a medium skillet and stir to moisten all of the sugar. Cook over medium-high heat, swirling the skillet so the sugar cooks evenly, until dark golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter, the bananas, and salt and cook, stirring, until the bananas are slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
  • Spoon the bananas on top of the pudding and serve warm.

Time 4h

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder

4 ripe bananas, mashed
5 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ cup milk
1 cup chopped pecans
½ cup butter
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup white sugar

¼ cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Beat 1 cup of butter, shortening, 2 cups of brown sugar, and 1 cup of white sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add the bananas, followed by the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Beat in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract with the last egg. Pour in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing until just incorporated. Fold in the pecans; mixing just enough to evenly combine. Pour the batter into prepared pan.

Stir continuously until the sugars have dissolved, then gently simmer for 1 minute. Pour over baked cake while still in the pan.

PUFFED BANANAS AND CARAMEL



Puffed Bananas and Caramel image

From James Reeson Alive and Cooking. A good way to use up scraps of puff pastry, I've listed 1/2 sheet of puff pastry cut into strips but James used some scraps that he had frozen from other recipes and thawed them. Times are estimated. Please also note that in Australia pre-rolled pastry sheets are about 22/23 cm square.

BANANA-CARAMEL PUDDING



Banana-Caramel Pudding image

I don't know how it happened, but I've developed quite a fondness (and following) for my versions of Southern classics like fried chicken, biscuits, and even banana cream pie. Indian food is all about layers of flavor, so I approach these foods with the same agenda. In my version of banana pudding, I layer bananas with an incredibly rich vanilla creme patissier, a slightly salty caramel sauce, generous spoonfuls of whipped cream, and the requisite vanilla wafers to create a trifle-like dessert that promises to get even the most Southern of Southerners drooling. I keep the caramel on the soft side so that, even after being refrigerated, it retains a somewhat saucy quality. It goes without saying to use the freshest eggs you can find for the pudding.

Categories     dessert

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla paste or extract
1 1/2 cups/360 ml milk
1 1/2 cups/360 ml heavy/double cream
3/4 cup/150 g sugar
1/8 tsp kosher salt
1/2 cup/115 g unsalted butter
3/4 cup/175 ml heavy/double cream
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1 cup/200 g sugar
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 1/2/360 ml cups heavy cream
1/2 cup/100 g sugar
1 1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract, or 1/3 vanilla bean
5 bananas
4 cups/360 g vanilla wafers

Steps:

  • To make the pudding:
  • Whisk the eggs with the vanilla in a large bowl and set aside. Bring the milk, heavy cream, sugar, and salt to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Turn off the heat and whisk a little of the hot liquid into the egg mixture. Continue adding more hot milk until the eggs are tempered and the bottom of the bowl is warm to the touch and then return the egg mixture to the saucepan with the remaining milk. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or whisk, until the pudding thickens and you can draw a clear line through the custard on the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes (don't let the custard boil--this will cause the eggs to curdle). Pour the custard through a medium sieve and into a medium bowl. Whisk to cool slightly, cover flush with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until it is completely cool, about 2 hours.
  • To make the caramel sauce:
  • Microwave together the butter, heavy cream, and salt until the butter is melted (or melt the butter with the cream and salt in a small saucepan). Whisk to combine and set aside. Place the sugar and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Melt the sugar over medium-high heat, swirling the pan occasionally to evenly distribute the heat, until the sugar is a deep nutty brown and smells bittersweet, 10 to 12 minutes. Pour in the butter mixture (be careful-the sauce will hiss and bubble up) and then place the mixture back over medium-high heat to return it to a boil. Turn off the heat and set the saucepan aside to let the caramel cool to room temperature, 1 to 2 hours.
  • To make the whipped cream:
  • Place the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla (if using a vanilla bean, split the pod and scrape out the seeds, adding them to the cream; save the pod and place it in a jar of sugar to infuse it with vanilla flavor) in the bowl of a stand mixer (or large bowl if using a hand mixer) and whip it on medium speed until it is frothy. Increase the speed to medium-high and whip until you get stiff peaks. Refrigerate until you're ready to assemble the pudding.
  • To assemble:
  • Peel and thinly slice the bananas and set aside (wait to slice the bananas until you're ready to assemble the dish, otherwise, they'll brown). Evenly spread 1 cup whipped cream over the bottom of a large trifle dish or punch bowl. Top with a layer of bananas and 1 cup/240 ml pudding. Place about 20 wafers in a flat layer on top of the pudding and evenly drizzle 1/2 cup/120 ml caramel over the wafers. Repeat the layering process three times beginning with the whipped cream, followed by some sliced bananas, pudding, wafers, and caramel. Finish the pudding with a final layer of whipped cream (you should have about 1 cup remaining after repeating four layers), cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. Serve in dessert bowls.
