Ingredients

• 3 whole Ripe bananas
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Cornstarch
• 2.5 cups Whole milk
• 4 whole Egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
• 1 whole Pre-baked pie crust (if making pie)
• 2 whole Sliced bananas (for layering, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, whisk together granulated sugar and cornstarch until no lumps remain.

Step 2

Gradually add whole milk, whisking constantly, to create a smooth mixture.

Step 3

In a small bowl, lightly whisk egg yolks. Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the milk mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly, to temper the eggs.

Step 4

Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture.

Step 5

Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble (about 6–8 minutes).

Step 6

Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in unsalted butter and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir the mashed bananas into the pudding mixture.

Step 8

If making pudding, pour the banana pudding into serving bowls or ramekins, cover with plastic wrap (pressing the wrap against the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Step 9

If making pie, pour the banana pudding into a pre-baked pie crust. If desired, layer slices of banana between the pudding for extra banana flavor. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

Step 10

Before serving, top with whipped cream for a delightful finish.
