This is the Banana Pudding Recipe I Stole from my Grandma!

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Gather the ingredients: bananas, vanilla wafers, milk, sugar, salt, flour, egg yolks, and vanilla extract.

In a saucepan, combine salt, flour, and sugar, and whisk together without heat.

Add milk to the dry ingredients while whisking continuously.

Turn on the heat to medium-high and stir until the mixture thickens, watching for bubbles.

Once thickened, reduce heat to a simmer and continue stirring.

Crack eggs into a bowl and whisk them well.

Pour a small amount of the thickened mixture into the eggs while whisking to temper them, then combine the egg mixture back into the saucepan.

Add vanilla extract to the mixture and stir well.

Peel and slice the bananas.

Layer vanilla wafers in the bottom of a serving dish.

Add a layer of banana slices over the wafers.

Pour a layer of the pudding mixture over the bananas and wafers.

Repeat the layering process with remaining wafers, bananas, and pudding until all ingredients are used.

Crush additional vanilla wafers in a Ziploc bag and sprinkle them on top as a crumble topping.
