Description
A creamy and delicious pudding combining the classic flavors of peanut butter and banana.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 ripe bananas, sliced
- Vanilla wafers
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Boil for 1 minute.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually whisk about half of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks.
- Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes more, until thickened. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in the butter, peanut butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Strain the pudding through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.
- Cover the surface of the pudding directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until well chilled.
- To assemble the pudding, layer vanilla wafers, sliced bananas, and pudding in a serving dish or individual cups.
- Serve chilled.
Notes
- For a smoother pudding, ensure you strain it after cooking.
- Use ripe but not overripe bananas.
- The pudding will thicken as it chills.
- This pudding is best served the same day it is assembled.
