BANANA PUDDING



Banana Pudding image

I didn't see my son, Lance Corporal Eric Harris, for more than two years after he enlisted in the Marines after high school. And when I saw him arrive at the airport, I just grabbed hold of him and burst out crying. When we got home, the first thing he ate was two bowls of my easy banana pudding recipe. He's a true southern boy! It's a dessert, but you can have it for breakfast, lunch or dinner. -Stephanie Harris, Montpelier, Virginia

OLD-FASHIONED BANANA PUDDING

Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch of table salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
About 45 vanilla wafers, such as Nilla
8 bananas, sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 cups whole milk
6 eggs, separated
1 1/4 cups sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat the milk in a medium saucepan to a simmer over medium heat. In a second medium saucepan, whisk the egg yolks with 3/4 cup of the sugar until thick and light. Stir in the flour and salt to make a smooth paste.
  • Whisk the scalded milk into the egg mixture, blend well and then return the pan to gentle heat. (Make sure the cream is perfectly smooth before letting it boil!) Whisk until boiling. Continue to cook the cream, whisking constantly, until thick and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine. Strain the pastry cream into a bowl; set aside.
  • Place a layer of the vanilla wafers all over the bottom of a medium baking dish (9-by-13-inch). Spread half of the reserved pastry cream on top of the wafers. Place the bananas evenly over the pastry cream in the baking dish. Top with a second layer of wafers. Spoon the remaining pastry cream over the wafers; set aside.
  • In a heavy-duty mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, a little at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Spoon the meringue over the pastry cream and spread evenly to cover the entire surface, sealing well at the edges. Using a spatula, make curls and peaks in the meringue.
  • Bake until lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool slightly. Serve immediately, warm or cold.

MAGNOLIA'S FAMOUS BANANA PUDDING

Categories     dessert

Time 7h20m

Yield up to 16 servings (makes 4 to 5 quarts)

Number Of Ingredients 6

One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cups (360 grams/12.7 ounces) ice-cold water
One 3.4-ounce package instant vanilla pudding mix (preferably Jell-O brand)
3 cups (720 grams/25.5 ounces) heavy cream
One 11-ounce box Nilla wafers
4 to 5 ripe bananas, sliced

Steps:

  • In a stand mixer with the whisk, beat the condensed milk and water on medium speed until well combined, about 1 minute. Add the pudding mix and beat until there are no lumps and the mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl, cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • In a stand mixer with the whisk, whip the heavy cream on medium speed for about 1 minute, until the cream starts to thicken, then increase the speed to medium-high and whip until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
  • With the mixer running on low speed, add the pudding mixture a spoonful at a time. Mix until well blended and no streaks of pudding remain.
  • To assemble, select a trifle bowl or a wide glass bowl with a 4- to 5-quart capacity, or individual serving bowls.
  • Saving 4 to 5 cookies for the garnish on top, begin assembly. Spread one-quarter of the pudding over the bottom and layer with one-third of the cookies and one-third of the sliced bananas (enough to cover the layer). Repeat the layering twice more. End with a final layer of pudding. Garnish the top with additional cookies or cookie crumbs.
  • Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours. Cookies should be tender when poked with a knife. This dessert is best served within 12 hours of assembling.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. This will give your pudding a sweeter, creamier flavor.
  • Don't overcook the pudding. Overcooked pudding will be thick and rubbery. Cook it just until it begins to thicken and coats the back of a spoon.
  • Chill the pudding before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set. You can chill it for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Garnish the pudding with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include whipped cream, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and fruit.

Conclusion:

Cold banana pudding is a classic Southern dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make, delicious, and always a crowd-pleaser. Whether you are looking for a simple dessert to serve at a family gathering or a more elaborate dessert for a special occasion, cold banana pudding is a great option.
