Ingredients

  • Bananas:3 medium-sized
  • Milk: 2 cups 480ml
  • Sugar: 3/4 cup 150g
  • Cornstarch: 3 tablespoons 24g
  • Salt: a pinch
  • Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon 5ml
  • Butter: 2 tablespoons 28g
  • Vanilla wafer cookies optional: 12-15

Instructions

  • Peel and Slice: Begin by peeling the bananas and slicing them into even round slices. Set aside.
  • Mixing the Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Gradually whisk in milk, ensuring there are no lumps.
  • Microwave: Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on high for 5 minutes, stopping every minute to stir the mixture.
  • Add Final Touches: Once thickened, remove from the microwave and stir in butter and vanilla extract until the butter is fully melted.
  • Layering: In serving glasses or bowls, create alternate layers of vanilla wafer cookies, banana slices, and the pudding mixture.
  • Chill: Refrigerate the pudding for at least an hour or until set.

Notes

TIPS:
1. Always keep a close eye on the pudding mixture in the microwave to avoid any boil overs.
2. For a richer flavor, try adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to your pudding.
3. If you want your pudding to set faster, you can place it in the freezer for about 20 minutes.
4. Instead of vanilla wafer cookies, crushed graham crackers can be used as an alternative.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
  • Top with whipped cream or a dollop of vanilla ice cream for an added treat.
  • Garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or chocolate shavings for a touch of chocolatey goodness.
  • Fresh berries or a drizzle of caramel sauce can elevate the flavors even further.
