Banana Pudding Bars No Bake Dessert With A Buttery Nilla Wafer Crust Recipes

NILLA WAFER BANANA PUDDING

Steps:

• To make the custard, simmer one to two inches of water in a pot over low heat. Place a glass or metal bowl on top of the pot, making sure it doesn't touch the water.
• Add 1/2 cup of sugar, flour, and salt to the bowl.
• Beat in the egg yolks and milk, and stir until the mixture is well-combined.
• Cook the mixture over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent the milk from burning.
• Remove the bowl from the heat and mix in the vanilla.
• Spread a small amount of the custard at the bottom of a 1 1/2-quart casserole.
• Layer Nilla Wafers on top of the custard. Top with a layer of sliced bananas.
• Pour a third of the custard over the bananas. Continue layering until you get three layers of each component, ending with the custard. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
• To make the meringue topping, beat the egg whites with a mixer until foamy. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and beat for 4-5 minutes or until stiff peaks form. You'll know the egg whites are done when they're glossy and they form a firm peak that holds its shape when you lift the beater.
• Spoon over the meringue over the pudding, making sure the entire surface is covered well.
• Bake the pudding for 5 minutes or until the meringue has turned light golden brown.
• Let the pudding cool to room temperature. Chill in the fridge before serving.
• Garnish with banana slices and place Nilla Wafers around the edge of the dish.

BANANA PUDDING TART RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Crust: In a food processor, pulse Nilla Wafers until crumbly. Add softened butter and Nilla Wafer crumbs to a large bowl, and thoroughly mix by hand until well incorporated. Using a 9.5 - 10 inch tart pan, press mixture into the bottom of the pan, and along the sides to form a crust. Place in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the bananas.
• Filling: Cover a sheet pan with parchment or foil and roast bananas, 25 - 30 minutes, uncovered. Let bananas rest and cool, about 15 minutes. Once cooled, in a mixing bowl, peel and add bananas to the bowl, along with the sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, eggs, and egg yolks. Using a mixer, mix until thoroughly combined, about 1 minute. Remove pie crust from the refrigerator. Pour filling into chilled pie crust. Using a covered sheet pan, place the tart pan on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, or until filling is set.
• Cool at room temperature, at least one hour. For a decorative touch, immediately before serving, add whipped cream or meringue on top. Or, serve a side of whipped cream with each slice.

BANANA PUDDING CHEESECAKE BARS

Steps:

• Crust
• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 325°F. Line a 13x9" or 12x8" baking pan with two pieces of parchment paper, leaving overhang on all sides. Anchor parchment to pan with metal binder clips. Stir Nilla wafers, sugar, salt, and remaining 4 Tbsp. butter in a medium bowl to combine. Press mixture into an even layer in bottom of prepared pan; it won't hold together but will pack like a sand. Bake until toasted, about 10 minutes. Let cool.
• Filling and assembly
• While the crust is cooling, beat cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed, stopping motor occasionally and scraping down sides of bowl and beater, 3 minutes. Reduce speed to medium and drop in pieces of banana, a little at a time, breaking up and incorporating completely before adding more. (Adding the bananas slowly helps blend them into the cream cheese.) Scrape down bowl and beater again, then beat 2 minutes on medium-high, covering mixer with a splash guard or kitchen towel to avoid spatter. Reduce speed to medium-low and pour in condensed milk; beat, scraping down bowl halfway through, 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low and add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition; mix in salt. For the silkiest cheesecake, strain filling though a fine-mesh sieve into a jug or pitcher, pushing through with a rubber spatula. Stir in vanilla paste or scrape in vanilla seeds and mix well.
• Knock stand mixer bowl or jug against counter a few times to release any trapped air. Let filling sit 2 minutes, then pour into crust. Bake cheesecake until 2" of edges are puffed and center wobbles slightly when pan is gently shaken, 30-35 minutes, depending on size of pan. Turn off oven and prop open door (a wooden spoon works well). Let cheesecake cool in oven 30 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cheesecake cool completely. Chill until cold, at least 4 hours, covering with wax paper or plastic wrap after 1 hour.
• When you are ready to top cheesecake, beat heavy cream, sour cream, and powdered sugar in the clean bowl of a stand mixer with whisk attachment on medium-high until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Spread topping over chilled cheesecake. Chill, uncovered, at least 1 hour before serving.
• Slice cheesecake with a hot, dry knife and serve cold or room temperature. Do ahead: Cheesecake can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and keep chilled, or freeze up to 1 month. Crust will be slightly softer than when freshly made.
