Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 box vanilla wafers
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup expired sweetened condensed milk
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the whole milk, expired sweetened condensed milk, cornstarch, and salt.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. Gradually add a small amount of the hot milk mixture to the eggs while whisking continuously. This tempers the eggs, preventing them from curdling.
- Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove the pudding mixture from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a serving dish or individual dessert glasses, layer vanilla wafers, sliced bananas, and pudding. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap, ensuring it touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the pudding to set and flavors to meld.
- Before serving, optionally top with whipped cream and additional banana slices.
- Enjoy this classic banana pudding!
