Ingredients:
¾ cup + 3 Tbsp granulated sugar
4 ½ Tbsp cornstarch
1 egg, room temperature
2 egg yolks, room temperature
3 cups WHOLE milk
4 tsp vanilla extract, divided
½ tsp kosher salt
4 ½ Tbsp unsalted butter
4 large ripe bananas, sliced thinly
1 11oz box vanilla wafers, reserve 8-10 for crushing
1 cup heavy cream
¼ cup powdered sugar
Combine the sugar, cornstarch, egg, egg yolks, milk, 3 tsp vanilla extract and salt in a medium saucepan. Cook, whisking CONSTANTLY, over medium heat until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble, about 8-10 minutes. This happens pretty quickly – the pudding goes from a thin mixture to a thick “gloppy” consistency in seconds.
