Easy Banana Pudding Nilla Wafers 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 WITH HOMEMADE VANILLA WAFERS

Steps:

• For the pudding: Combine the sugar and cornstarch in a skillet. Gradually stir in the cream, making sure that all of the cornstarch dissolves. Set over medium heat and stir continuously, dragging the spoon along the bottom of the pan until the mixture starts to thicken.
• Whisk the egg yolks in a bowl. Mix a spoonful of the hot cream mixture into the eggs to warm them without cooking. Add the warm egg mixture to the skillet with the cream, then add the butter and vanilla. Stir until the butter is melted; remove from the heat and pour into a heat-proof bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing onto the surface of the pudding. Set aside to cool.
• Mash the bananas in a bowl, add them to the cooled pudding and mix together until well incorporated.
• For the vanilla wafers: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• With an electric hand mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until combined. Next, add the egg, vanilla and baking powder and beat until smooth and fluffy. Add the flour, milk and salt and beat until completely incorporated.
• Use 2 spoons to drop teaspoon-size dollops of the batter onto ungreased baking sheets. With a dampened finger, smooth the tops of the cookies. Bake until light brown around the edges, 6 to 7 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through for even cooking. Allow to cool.
• For the whipped Cream: Pour the cream into a large mixing bowl and beat using an electric mixer. Once the cream starts to thicken, add the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and salt and beat until light and fluffy.
• Line the bottom of a trifle dish with some vanilla wafers, then add a layer of banana pudding and a layer of whipped cream. Continue to layer, ending with a layer of pudding. Refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours before serving.
