Banana Pudding With Graham Cracker Crunch Recipes

BANANA GRAHAM CRACKER PUDDING

Steps:

• Mix sugar,cornstarch, and salt in saucepan. Add milk. Cook and stir over medium heat until thick and bubbling. Cook and stir 2 minutes more, then remove from heat. Add a small amount of hot mixture to beaten egg yolks, then quickly add back to rest of mixture. Cook and stir for 2 more minutes, then remove from heat and add butter and vanilla.
• Layer in serving bowl. I put 1/2 of grahams on bottom, 1/2 bananas next, 1/2 pudding mixture next. Repeat layers and add 1/4 cup graham crumbs on top for garnish. Makes 4 or 5 servings.
• I usually make this in the morning, because it tastes wonderful after it has cooled all day in refrigerator and all the flavors marry. I also double this because there is never enough for all of my family.

BANANA PUDDING WITH GRAHAM-CRACKER CRUNCH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter a baking sheet. In a medium bowl, stir the graham-cracker crumbs and melted butter together. Press the crumb mixture onto the baking sheet in a circle that is approximately 8 inches in diameter. Bake for 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Use a small spoon to drizzle the melted chocolate chips thickly over the baked crumbs on the baking sheet. Let the crunch sit until the chocolate is firm. [The chocolate holds the crunch together in large pieces so it does not crumble when it is transferred to the pudding. I always have a problem with this step, but if it crumbles it doesn't alter the flavor :-)].
• In the bottom of a 2-quart serving bowl, spread 1/2 of the banana slices. Spread about 1/2 of the pudding over the bananas and sprinkle about 1/3 of the graham crunch (breaking it up with a spatula as you transfer it) over the pudding. Repeat the layering once.
• Spread the whipped cream over the crunch and sprinkle with the remaining crunch. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight and serve cold.
