Ingredients
- 2 cups WHOLE MILK
- 3 large EGG YOLKS
- 1/2 cup GRANULATED SUGAR
- 2 tbsp CORNSTARCH
- 1 WHOLE VANILLA BEAN
- 3 large RIPE BANANAS
- 1 box VANILLA WAFERS
- 1 cup HEAVY CREAM
Instructions
- Whisk your egg yolks and sugar together. Do this in a medium heat-proof bowl. Beat them until the mixture looks pale.
- Add the cornstarch to the egg mixture. Whisk it well to avoid any clumps. This ensures a very smooth pudding texture.
- Heat the milk in your large saucepan. Add the vanilla bean seeds to the milk. Bring it to a very gentle simmer.
- Slowly pour hot milk into the eggs. Whisk constantly while you pour the milk. This prevents the eggs from scrambling quickly.
- Pour everything back into the saucepan. Cook it over medium heat for five minutes. Stir until the pudding becomes very thick.
- Remove the pan from the heat immediately. Let the custard cool down for ten minutes. This helps the flavors meld together well.
- Slice your bananas into thin, even rounds. Layer them at the bottom of your dishes. Add a layer of vanilla wafers next.
- Spoon the warm custard over the layers. Repeat the layers until the dish is full. Top it with freshly whipped heavy cream.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sugar.
- Whisk the custard constantly to keep it silky smooth.
- Chill the pudding for four hours before serving it.
- Squeeze lemon juice on bananas to prevent browning quickly.
- Temper the eggs slowly to avoid a lumpy mess.
- Use a real vanilla bean for the best scent.
