Caramelized Banana Pudding
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup vanilla wafer cookies, crushed
- Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Peel and slice the bananas. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sugar and cook until it caramelizes, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the sliced bananas to the caramelized sugar, sprinkle with cinnamon and salt, and cook for another 2 minutes until bananas are caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a saucepan, heat the milk and cream over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg yolks, and cornstarch until smooth.
- Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the pudding cool slightly.
- In serving glasses or a large bowl, layer the crushed vanilla wafer cookies, caramelized bananas, and pudding mixture.
- Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used up, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
- Before serving, top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed vanilla wafer cookies for garnish.
