Banana Foster Pudding

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Separate the eggs. Split 6 eggs and place the yolks into a large mixing bowl (you won’t need the whites for this recipe).

  2. Whisk yolks with sugar and vanilla. Add the sugar and vanilla to the yolks, then mix until smooth and well combined.

  3. Mash the bananas. In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork. Add them to the yolk mixture and stir until evenly blended.

  4. Add the milk. Pour the 1 liter of milk into the bowl and whisk until the mixture is fully combined.

  5. Dissolve the cornstarch. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 20 ml of milk. Stir until completely smooth with no lumps.

  6. Combine everything. Pour the dissolved cornstarch mixture into the main bowl and mix well.

  7. Cook the pudding base. Transfer the mixture to a pot. Cook over low heat, whisking constantly so it doesn’t stick or form lumps.

  8. Thicken the pudding. Continue cooking for about 10 minutes, or until the pudding thickens to a creamy consistency.

  9. Portion and cool. Divide the pudding into 4 dessert cups. Let them cool, then set aside to firm up.

Make the Bananas Foster Topping

  1. Melt the butter. Add butter to a pan and melt over gentle heat.

  2. Create the caramel. Sprinkle in the sugar, stir well, and heat until the sugar melts into a smooth caramel.

  3. Coat the banana. Slice the banana, add it to the caramel, and stir carefully until the slices are fully coated.

Assemble and Chill

  • Spoon the Bananas Foster topping over the cooled banana pudding.
  • Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until the dessert is fully set and firm.
