Banana Pudding with Bananas Foster Topping

A creamy homemade banana pudding finished with a quick, buttery caramelized banana topping—perfect for an easy yet impressive dessert.

Ingredients

For the Banana Pudding

• 6 egg yolks
• 125 g sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla flavoring (or vanilla extract)
• 2 ripe bananas
• 1 liter milk
• 3 tbsp cornstarch
• 20 ml milk (to dissolve the cornstarch)

For the Bananas Foster Topping

• 10 g butter
• 50 g sugar
• 1 banana

Preparation

1) Make the Banana Pudding

1. Separate the eggs and place the 6 egg yolks in a large mixing bowl.
2. Add sugar and vanilla to the yolks, then whisk until smooth and well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, mash 2 ripe bananas with a fork. Add the mashed banana to the yolk mixture and mix thoroughly.
4. Pour in 1 liter of milk and whisk until the mixture is evenly blended.
5. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch with 20 ml milk, stirring until fully dissolved and lump-free.
6. Add the dissolved cornstarch mixture to the main bowl and mix well.
7. Transfer everything to a saucepan. Cook over low heat, whisking continuously so it doesn’t stick or form lumps.
8. Continue cooking for about 10 minutes, or until the pudding thickens to a custard-like consistency.
9. Divide the pudding into 4 small dessert cups. Let them cool, then allow them to set.

2) Prepare the Bananas Foster Topping

1. Melt butter in a pan over gentle heat.
2. Sprinkle in sugar, stir well, and heat until the sugar melts into a smooth caramel.
3. Slice 1 banana, add it to the caramel, and gently stir until the banana pieces are coated.

3) Assemble and Chill

1. Spoon the warm Bananas Foster topping over the set banana pudding cups.
2. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until fully chilled and firm.
