HOMEMADE BANANA PUDDING | FROM SCRATCH | OLD-FASHIONED | Chef Lorious

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Separate 4 egg yolks from the whites.

In a mixing bowl, combine 2.5 cups sugar, 10 oz evaporated milk, and 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour, whisking until smooth.

Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 20 minutes.

Once thickened, temper the egg yolks by slowly adding a little of the hot mixture to them, whisking continuously to prevent scrambling.

Gradually add the tempered egg yolks back into the hot mixture while whisking continuously.

Add 4 tablespoons of butter and vanilla paste to the mixture, stirring until the butter melts and is well combined.

In a serving dish, layer a bit of the custard on the bottom, followed by a layer of vanilla wafers.

Slice 3 large bananas and layer them on top of the wafers.

Continue layering with more custard, wafers, and bananas until all ingredients are used, adjusting quantities as needed for the size of the dish.

Cover the dish and refrigerate to chill before serving with fresh whipped cream and crumbled wafers.
