There is something very comforting about homemade puddings. Am I the only one who thinks so? Tapioca, rice pudding, creamy puddings, give ’em all to me. This simple yet incredibly creamy banana pudding recipe came from Jen’s Favorites Cookies and I am so grateful to add this to my families favorite desserts collection.

Ingredients

2-3 large very ripe bananas
1 cup milk I used 2%
1 cup whipping cream
½ cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
dash salt
3 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

Place bananas, milk, and whipping cream into a heavy saucepan over medium heat. After the milk mixture has warmed, mash the bananas. Do not boil the mixture, just slowly bring it up to a hot temperature. (Too hot too fast can scorch the milk, so patience is key.)
In a separate small bowl, mix the sugar, cornstarch and salt together. When the milk mixture is nearly at a boil, add in the sugar mixture, stirring well to incorporate.
In a small dish, mix the egg yolks together. Add in some of the hot milk mixture a little at a time, about 1/2 cup total, to temper the eggs. Return this mixture to the heavy saucepan.
Bring to a gentle boil and boil for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. If making individual servings, pour into 4 ramekins, otherwise pour into one larger serving bowl.
If you prefer to eat the pudding warm, serve immediately. Otherwise chill the pudding in the fridge, covering with plastic wrap.

I am going to make this in a little bit as I have some real ripe bananas I need to use now! I am so happy to see the use of bananas cooked in the pudding instead of just sliced up and added to in layers, as in many banana cream pie recipes. well, I will be using in the pie as well. It’s one of son’s favorite pies. so thank you so much for sharing the recipe. it’s the only one I have found online that cooks the bananas in the pud.
