Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Roast almonds for 12 minutes and allow to cool while preparing pudding. After they have cooled, mince the almonds in a food processor or with a knife.

In a saucepan, combine cornstarch, salt, and sugar. Add the egg yolk to the dry ingredients. Gradually stir in milk and continue stirring until well combined. Turn to medium heat and cook while stirring constantly. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens into a pudding-like consistency.

Remove from heat, stir in vanilla. While still warm, alternate pudding with bananas in dessert dishes. Sprinkle minced almonds on top of the pudding. Top with whipped topping if desired.
