This is my favorite dessert of all time. Banana pudding is like soul food and It keeps you coming back for more! Not to mention, it is very nostalgic to me. My mimi made it every time she made https://belleandbrine.com/mimis-meatloaf/. I mean you had to take a nap afterwards.

This recipe is as close as your gonna get to your grandma’s banana pudding. Feel free to double or triple this recipe and use a larger baking dish. The more the merrier 🙂 Its super easy. I also love using extremely ripe bananas. I mean brown brown brown!!!

Try it and let me know!!!

Ingredients

Pudding

1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
3 egg yolks (save whites for later)
2 cups whole milk any cows milk is fine, but I love whole with this.
1 tsp Vanilla

5 ripe bananas the riper the better
1 box Vanilla Wafers

Meringue

3 egg whites
1/2 tsp vanilla
3 tbsp sugar

Instructions

In a medium saucepan; mix together ½ sugar, flour, salt, egg yolks, and milk. Stirring constantly, heat over medium heat until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
Line the bottom and the sides of a corningware or smaller dish with vanilla wafers; add a layer of sliced bananas and then a layer of custard; repeat layers.
In a large mixing bowl beat egg whites and vanilla on high speed until soft peaks form; gradually add remaining sugar 1 tablespoon at a time until stiff peaks form. Spread over custard until it completely covers. If you like use the back of your spoon to createthe peaks!
Bake in a 425⁰F oven for 5 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Can be served warm or chilled.

Notes

Double or triple this recipe, and use a 9×13! This is a smaller version with about 8 servings. But I love to make a good amount!!
