Homemade Banana Pudding

Print Recipe

A from-scratch vanilla custard layered with vanilla wafers and ripe bananas, chilled and finished with sweetened whipped cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 (11 oz) box vanilla wafers
  • 4 - 5 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk the sugar, flour and salt. Add the egg yolks and milk and whisk until smooth.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
  3. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla. Let cool slightly.
  4. In a 9×13 dish or a trifle bowl, layer one third of the vanilla wafers, half of the banana slices and half of the pudding. Repeat the layers.
  5. Top with the remaining wafers. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Before serving, whip the cream with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form and spread it over the pudding.

Notes

Ripe but firm bananas hold their shape best. The pudding thickens further as it chills, so do not worry if it looks thin at first. Two (3.4 oz) packages of instant vanilla pudding can stand in for the homemade custard as a shortcut.
