MOMS EASY BANANA PUDDING



Moms Easy Banana Pudding image

This was one of our favorite desserts my mom would make on the holidays or whenever we asked for it. All my brothers and sisters make it the same way for our families. My husband doesn't want it made any other way. I've tried a homemade version but, my family lets me know they want their grandma's.

Mom's Homemade Banana Pudding image

This is one of those old-fashioned banana pudding recipes that our elder relatives would have made for Sunday dinner. It's a bit different and a tad more time-consuming than modern day banana pudding, but worth every stir of the whisk. The homemade custard is thick, rich, and creamy. The meringue on top is fluffy and adds a bit...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 c sugar, divided
1/3 c self-rising flour
3 eggs, separated
2 c milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
5 medium ripe bananas
1 box vanilla wafers (some for layers, some crush for topping)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. Mix 1/2 c of the sugar with flour in a small saucepan. Blend in the egg yolks.
  • 2. Add vanilla extract and milk.
  • 3. Cook, uncovered, for 10-12 minutes or until thickened. Stir constantly.
  • 4. Remove from heat.
  • 5. Begin to layer the pudding (usually makes 3 layers). Add a layer of wafers in a casserole bowl.
  • 6. Top with a layer of banana slices.
  • 7. Next, pour some custard over the bananas and wafers.
  • 8. Repeat layers ending with custard.
  • 9. Beat egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form.
  • 10. Gradually add 1/4 c sugar.
  • 11. Beat until firm.
  • 12. Pour meringue over final custard layer.
  • 13. Crumble wafers over top.
  • 14. Bake 15-20 minutes or until top is slightly browned.
  • 15. Cool at least one hour before eating.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your pudding will be.
  • Don't overmix the pudding: Overmixing can make the pudding tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the pudding before serving: Chilling the pudding allows the flavors to meld and the pudding to set.
  • Garnish with whipped cream or Nilla wafers: Whipped cream or Nilla wafers add a delicious and classic touch to banana pudding.
  • Experiment with different flavor variations: You can add different flavors to banana pudding, such as chocolate chips, peanut butter, or vanilla extract.

Mom's banana pudding is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy texture, sweet banana flavor, and crispy Nilla wafer topping, this pudding is sure to be a hit with everyone.
