Homemade Banana Pudding with Nilla Wafers

Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups milk
  • 4 large egg yolks, beaten
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced
  • Nilla Wafers (about 1 box)
  • Whipped cream, for topping (optional, but highly recommended)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, flour, and salt.
  2. Gradually add in the milk while continuing to whisk. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to thicken (about 10-15 minutes).
  3. Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and slowly stir in the beaten egg yolks. Don’t rush; we want those yolks to blend in smoothly!
  4. Return the saucepan to low heat and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly to ensure it doesn’t stick (we’ve all had those stick moments, right?).
  5. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Give it a little taste; you know you want to!
  6. In a serving dish, layer the bottom with Nilla Wafers, followed by a layer of the pudding mixture, then sliced bananas. Repeat the layers until you run out of ingredients, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.
  7. If you’re feeling fancy, you can dollop some whipped cream on top. Who doesn’t love a little extra fluff?
  8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (but overnight is even better) to let the flavors meld together and enjoy it chilled—banana pudding style!

And there you have it! A simple, yet scrumptious, Homemade Banana Pudding that will have everyone coming back for seconds—and maybe even thirds! Get ready to impress your friends and family with this delightful treat. Happy pudding making!
