Ingredients

• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 3 large Egg yolks
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 3 medium Bananas
• 1 cup Whipped cream
• 1 cup Crushed graham crackers or cookies

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar and butter. Cook while stirring until the mixture melts and becomes bubbly, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 2

Slowly stir in 1 cup of heavy cream. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens slightly, about 2-3 more minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 cup heavy cream, whole milk, cornstarch, and egg yolks until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the egg mixture into the saucepan with the butterscotch base, whisking constantly.

Step 5

Return the saucepan to medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Do not let it boil.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in vanilla extract. Allow the pudding to cool slightly.

Step 7

Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds.

Step 8

In serving glasses or a large trifle dish, layer the pudding, sliced bananas, and crushed graham crackers or cookies. Repeat these layers until the dish is filled, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.

Step 9

Cover the dish with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.

Step 10

Before serving, top the pudding with whipped cream and additional crushed graham crackers or cookies, if desired.
