Banana pudding

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make banana pudding? Prepare your food. Take any cookies, the main thing is that they are tasty and crumble well. I have the usual sponge cake, but sugar, such as savoiardi, and shortbread, such as anniversary, and even oatmeal are also suitable. Take milk of any fat content, it doesn’t matter. Any starch too. Take a heaping spoonful of corn and without a heaping spoon of potato.

2. STEP 2

   

   Take a small bowl and pour all the dry ingredients into it - sugar, starch, flour and vanilla. Stir the mixture.

3. STEP 3

   

   Heat the milk until hot. Place the yolks in the saucepan in which you will cook the pudding. It is better if it has a thick bottom, then the pudding will definitely not burn. While constantly stirring with a whisk, pour about a quarter of the total amount of milk into the yolks. Stir until smooth.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add the dry ingredients to the egg-milk mixture one spoon at a time, whisking the mixture well after each serving. This will avoid the formation of lumps.

5. STEP 5

   

   When all the mixture is added, pour in the remaining milk. Stir.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the saucepan on the stove and turn the heat to low. Cook the pudding with constant stirring until thickened. When it boils, simmer for a couple of minutes and remove from heat. Cool the finished pudding completely.

7. STEP 7

   

   Crush the cookies. You can simply break it or, like me, beat it with a rolling pin and put it in a bag. I left large pieces, but you can chop the cookies into uniform crumbs.

8. STEP 8

   

   Cut the banana into thin rings.

9. STEP 9

   

   Take portioned dishes - glasses or bowls. Place cookie crumbs on the bottom and place a layer of banana on top. Next, add a few spoons of pudding. Repeat layers - cookies/banana/pudding. Place the dessert in the refrigerator for half an hour.

10. STEP 10

    

    The top of the pudding is traditionally decorated with whipped cream or broken meringue. I chose meringue. You can also sprinkle it with nuts, chocolate, and berries. Serve to the table. Bon appetit!

I made a great banana pudding using this recipe! Everyone loves desserts in glasses, both children and adults. And this dessert can be made very quickly. The longest time is cooling the pudding. But if you put the saucepan in cold water with ice, the cooling process will go faster. I used it slightly warm, so the cookie crumbs are soaked faster. By the way, I put the cookies in a tight bag and crushed them with a rolling pin. I cut the banana into cubes for the layer, it’s more convenient for me) I also decorated the dessert with meringue on top. It turned out incredibly tasty and tender! This pudding in cups can be made quickly before guests arrive.
