Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon plus a pinch salt
2 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
30 to 40 vanilla wafers
3 to 4 medium ripe bananas

Steps:

  • Separate the yolks from the whites of 3 of the eggs; set aside the whites. Add the remaining whole egg to the yolks.
  • In a saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup sugar, the flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in the whole egg and 3 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.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Spread a thin layer of the pudding in a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Arrange a layer of vanilla wafers on top of the pudding. Thinly slice the bananas crosswise, about 1/8 inch thick, 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.
  • To make the meringue, beat the reserved egg whites with a pinch of salt until they are stiff. Gradually beat in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and continue beating until the whites will not slide out of the mixing bowl when it is tilted.
  • Spread the meringue over the pudding with a spatula, making a few decorative peaks on top, and bake until the meringue is lightly browned, 5 minutes.

GRANDMA'S BANANA PUDDING



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!

BANANA PUDDING



Banana Pudding image

Provided by Sema Wilkes

Categories     Milk/Cream     Fruit     Dessert     Bake     Banana     Vanilla     Summer

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (6-ounce) box instant vanilla pudding
1 (7 1/4-ounce) box vanilla wafers
4 bananas, sliced
Meringue

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Make the pudding according to the directions on the box. Arrange the wafers, sliced bananas, and pudding in layers in a 2-quart casserole, ending with a layer of pudding on top. This will make 3 layers. Spread the meringue gently over the top. Bake for 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh bananas: Fresh bananas give the pudding a better flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh bananas, you can use frozen bananas that have been thawed.
  • Don't overcook the pudding: Overcooked pudding will be thick and gummy. Cook the pudding until it is just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Use a variety of cookies: Different types of cookies will give the pudding different flavors and textures. Try using a combination of vanilla wafers, chocolate wafers, and graham crackers.
  • Chill the pudding before serving: Chilling the pudding allows the flavors to meld and the pudding to set. Chill the pudding for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Garnish the pudding with whipped cream or fruit: Whipped cream and fruit add a delicious and festive touch to the pudding. You can also use nuts, chocolate chips, or caramel sauce.
