Warm Peanut Butter Banana Pudding Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER AND ROASTED BANANA PUDDING

Steps:

• For the pudding: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment and spray the parchment with cooking spray.
• Thinly slice the bananas crosswise, about 1/8 inch thick. Toss the bananas in a bowl with the cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Place in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the bananas start to brown on the edges, about 10 minutes.
• In a saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in the whole eggs and yolks, and then stir in the milk. Cook uncovered, stirring often, until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
• Spread a thin layer of the pudding in a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Arrange a layer of sandwich cookies on top of the pudding, and arrange a third of the roasted banana slices over the cookies. Spread a third of the remaining pudding over the bananas and continue layering cookies, bananas and pudding, ending with pudding, so you have 3 layers total. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• Whip together the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer to stiff peaks. Spread over the banana pudding.
• For the ganache: Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat the cream until hot but not simmering. Pour over top of the chocolate and let sit for a minute before stirring to melt and combine. Drizzle the ganache over the pudding. Spoon the pudding into bowls and serve chilled or at room temperature.

BUTTERMILK BANANA PUDDING WITH SALTED PEANUTS

Steps:

• Prepare the pudding: Add milk, heavy cream and vanilla extract to a medium saucepan and heat over medium. Meanwhile, whisk together sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch and salt in a medium heatproof bowl. Once the milk begins to bubble slightly around the edges, remove from heat. Slowly pour a ladleful of the warm milk into the yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Continue to slowly incorporate the rest of the warm milk, ladle by ladle, into the yolk mixture until thoroughly combined.
• Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and heat over medium. Whisk until the mixture begins to bubble and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the warm pudding into a large heatproof bowl and let cool for 5 minutes before whisking in the buttermilk. Place plastic wrap over the pudding, gently pressing the wrap to touch the top of the pudding. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before using.
• Prepare the cookie layer: Add the salted butter to a large sauté pan or deep skillet and melt over medium-low. Cook, stirring often, until the butter begins to foam. Once the butter gives off a nutty scent and darkens to a caramel-like color, about 4 minutes, remove the pan from the heat and add the wafers. Toss the Nilla Wafers to coat them with butter. Set aside.
• Prepare the whipped cream: Whip 1½ cups heavy cream in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or with a hand mixer on medium-high until it forms soft peaks, about 3 minutes. Turn off the mixer and add the sour cream. Turn the mixer on low and gradually add the confectioners' sugar. Once incorporated, whip on high until the cream has formed soft peaks again. Set aside.
• Reserve 12 Nilla Wafers for garnish. Pour the rest of the cookies into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and arrange in an even layer. Scatter the sliced bananas evenly on top. Pour the chilled pudding over the bananas and spread the pudding in an even layer to coat. Top with the whipped cream mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours).
• Place the remaining Nilla Wafers in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Remove the pudding from the refrigerator and garnish with crushed cookies and chopped peanuts just before serving.

PEANUT BUTTER AND BANANA PUDDING PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Whisk cookie crumbs, sugar, and salt for crust together in a medium bowl. Stir in the melted butter until mixture is coated and moist. Press the crumb mixture evenly along the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch, deep-dish pie plate.
• Bake crust in the preheated oven until golden brown and firm, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
• Melt 1/2 cup of the peanut butter and butter for the peanut butter layer in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, whisking to combine. Once melted, set aside to cool slightly, about 2 minutes. Pour mixture into bottom of the cooled crust, carefully smoothing into an even layer with a silicone spatula. Arrange the banana slices in an even layer over the peanut butter.
• Combine the remaining ½ cup peanut butter and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl. Cut the peanut butter into the sugar using a fork until a crumbly, streusel-like mixture forms; you will get about 2 scant cups of this mixture. Sprinkle about half of this mixture over the sliced bananas. Gently press with clean fingertips into a relatively even layer. Place pie in refrigerator while you make the pudding.
• Beat egg yolks for banana pudding layer with a whisk in a medium bowl until well combined; set aside. Whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan to evenly combine. Whisk in half-and-half, making sure all ingredients are well distributed. Place the pan over medium heat; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture has thickened slightly and gently begins to simmer, about 10 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat and, while whisking rapidly, slowly drizzle about ½ to 1 cup of the hot cream mixture into the eggs to temper. Keep whisking until smooth and combined. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and return to medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens further, 3 to 6 minutes. Remove pan from heat and whisk in the butter, vanilla, and banana extract.
• Pour the pudding mixture into a large mixing bowl and press a sheet of plastic wrap onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a "skin" from forming. Cool to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Once pudding has cooled, pour about half of the pudding into the pie shell. Sprinkle the crumbled wafers in an even layer over top. Arrange the banana slices over the wafers. Sprinkle the remaining peanut butter crumble mixture over the bananas. Pour remaining pudding over top. (Some of the peanut butter crumble and banana slices may float towards the surface; that's just fine. Smooth the surface as well as you can with a silicone spatula.) Place a piece of plastic wrap directly onto surface of the pudding filling to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for 8 hours, or overnight.
• When ready to serve, combine heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla for topping in a chilled mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment until medium-soft peaks form. Spoon the whipped cream on top of the pie.
