Ingredients

• 3 pieces ripe bananas
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 pieces egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 1.5 cups vanilla wafers or ladyfingers

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter a 2-quart baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/4-inch rounds. Set these aside for layering later.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Warm over medium heat, stirring often, until the sugars dissolve completely, about 3-4 minutes. Do not let the mixture boil.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and flour until smooth and pale. Gradually temper the warm milk mixture into the eggs, whisking continuously to avoid curdling.

Step 5

Stir in the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla extract into the custard mixture. Mix well.

Step 6

Layer the vanilla wafers or ladyfingers at the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Add a layer of banana slices on top, followed by about 1/3 of the custard mixture. Repeat this process until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of custard on top.

Step 7

Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the assembled pudding.

Step 8

Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 9

Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. The warm pudding can be served on its own or topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
