Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
2 egg yolks
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups milk
6 bananas, peeled and sliced
1 (16 ounce) package vanilla wafer cookies

3 ½ tablespoons white sugar

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, stir together the brown sugar and flour so there are no lumps. Mix in the egg and egg yolks. Gradually stir in the milk while warming over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture becomes thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until the meringue has browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • To achieve a light and fluffy meringue, ensure your egg whites are at room temperature before whipping.
  • Use a clean, grease-free bowl and whisk when whipping the egg whites, as any traces of grease can prevent them from reaching their full volume.
  • Gradually add the sugar to the egg whites while continuing to whisk, allowing it to dissolve completely before adding more.
  • Do not over-whip the meringue, as it can become grainy and lose its glossy appearance.
  • To test if the meringue is ready, lift the whisk out of the bowl – stiff peaks should form that hold their shape.
  • When folding the meringue into the banana mixture, do so gently to prevent deflating it.
  • Bake the meringue until it is golden brown and has a slightly crispy exterior, while the center remains soft and fluffy.
  • Allow the meringue to cool completely before serving, as this will help it to set and prevent it from collapsing.
