Old-Fashioned Banana Pudding

Subtle hints of freshly sliced banana combined with natural vanilla bean & the crunch of vanilla wafer cookies makes this dish a family favorite dessert!
Servings: 6
Author: Simply Happenstance

Ingredients

  • 2 2/3 cups whole milk divided
  • 1/2 - 3/4 cup sugar {depending on your preference for sweetness}
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • seeds from 1/2 vanilla bean or 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  • Bring 2 cups of the milk to a boil in a medium saucepan. While it is heating, combine sugar, cornstarch, salt and vanilla bean {if you’re replacing it with extract, don’t add it yet; you can toss the leftover vanilla bean pods in the pot with the simmering milk for an extra vanilla boost} in the bottom of a medium, heatproof bowl. Gradually whisk in the remaining 2/3 cup whole milk, a little at a time so lumps do not form, then whisk in the egg. Once milk is boiling, very gradually add it to the cornstarch mixture in the bowl, whisking the whole time.
  • Return the mixture back to the saucepan, stirring constantly with a silicon spatula or wooden spoon. Once it comes to a simmer, cook it for one minute longer {which will cook the cornstarch and egg fully}. Stir in vanilla extract {if you’re using it} and divide pudding among 6 dishes.
  • Chill in refrigerator, if desired.

Notes

Serve:
Just before serving, top pudding with a layer of vanilla wafers & freshly sliced banana! You can even add a dollop of fresh whipped cream! Enjoy!
