Banana Pudding

Step 1: Pudding

To a quart jar, add:

2 cups milk

3 egg yolks

Stir with a fork to break yolks, then put the lid on the jar and shake it to combine the yolks and milk. Pour the mixture through a wire-mesh strainer into a large pot, straining out any egg imperfections. Then add:

2 cups heavy cream

1 1/8 cup sugar

3 Tbsp corn starch

Whisk together. Place pot over medium heat, stirring continuously, cook until thickened. Add:

6 Tbsp butter

2 tsp vanilla

Place a sheet of plastic wrap on the pudding, pressing directly on the surface so that the pudding doesn’t form a skin. Chill for about 30 minutes.

Step 2: Whipped Cream

30 min later . . .

To the bowl of a stand mixer, add:

2 cups heavy cream

2 Tbsp sugar

Whip on medium/high speed until cream has thickened.

• Check out Fresh Whipped Cream for more information if unfamiliar with the process

Fold the prepared pudding into the whipped cream.

Step 3: Assemble Banana Pudding

Layer in a 13”x9” pan:

• 1/3 pudding

• Vanilla Wafers

• 2 bananas, 1/4” slices

Repeat, then top with remaining pudding.

Serve cold.
