Easy Homemade Banana Pudding That Beats Any Mix!

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Separate the yolks from the whites of 3 eggs and set the egg whites aside.

Add the remaining whole egg to the yolks and whisk together.

In a medium saucepan over no heat, mix together the sugar, flour, and a pinch of salt.

Stir in the egg yolks and the whole egg, then whisk in the milk.

Turn the heat on to medium and cook the mixture uncovered, whisking continuously until it thickens, about 10 minutes.

Once thickened, remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla.

Cover the pudding to prevent a film from forming and refrigerate until completely cool, at least 3 hours.

Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.

Assemble the banana pudding in a 1 and 1/2 quart baking dish or individual stemless wine glasses by layering homemade vanilla pudding, whole vanilla wafer cookies, fresh sliced bananas, and whipped cream.

Repeat the layering process and top with crumbled wafer cookies and additional banana slices.
