Eggless Southern Banana Pudding
This eggless banana pudding is a comforting, family-friendly dessert with creamy texture and classic appeal, making it a wonderful choice for gatherings.
Ingredients
For the Pudding
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/4 cup Cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 3 cups Whole Milk
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
For the Layers
- 1 box Vanilla Wafer Cookies (11 oz) (use an egg free brand)
- 4 Ripe Bananas (sliced)
For the Topping
- 1 1/2 cups Cold Heavy Cream
- 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Whisk the sugar, cornstarch and salt in a saucepan, then gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the pudding is thick and bubbling, about 8 minutes, then cook 1 minute more.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla. Press plastic wrap onto the surface and cool for 20 minutes.
- In a trifle dish or 9x9 inch dish, layer half the wafers, half the banana slices and half the pudding, then repeat the layers.
- Cover and chill for at least 4 hours so the wafers soften into a cake like texture.
- Whip the cold heavy cream with the powdered sugar to soft peaks and spread over the top.
- Just before serving, garnish with crushed wafers and a few fresh banana slices.
