Light Tropical Banana Pudding image

Cornstarch-thickened pudding, also known as cheater's pudding, creates the same thick, luscious texture as homemade custard with almost none of the fat. A coconut-milk beverage subbed in for regular milk lends a subtle tropical flavor in this classic Southern dessert.

Time 13h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups coconut-milk beverage
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
2 medium bananas, sliced
1 cup chopped pineapple chunks
15 vanilla wafers
Toasted coconut flakes, for garnish

Steps:

  • Put the coconut milk and butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring gently to melt the butter and heat the milk.
  • Whisk together the sugar, cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water in a separate bowl to create a thick paste. Gently whisk into the milk and increase the heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until thick and bubbly, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let cool to room temperature, then transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly against the surface. Refrigerate until set, 3 to 4 hours.
  • Beat the whipping cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  • Arrange a layer of half of the banana slices on the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Add a layer of half the pineapple followed by half of the coconut pudding and a layer of half of the wafers. Top with some whipped cream and repeat to make a second layer.
  • Top with the remaining whipped cream and the toasted coconut flakes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to overnight before serving.

This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. The pudding was a complete failure. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pudding turned out nothing like the picture. It was dense and rubbery. I would not recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pudding turned out terrible. It was watery and flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe.

This pudding was okay, but not great. The flavors were a bit too sweet for my taste and the texture was a little too dense. I would not make this recipe again.
