Banana Pudding With A Twist Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, using an immersion blender or a whisk, mix together the milk and instant vanilla pudding mix until well combined. Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla, if using, and beat well for about 2 minutes more, until well incorporated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or up to overnight, until set.
• In a large bowl, whip the cream with an immersion blender or electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.
• Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the chilled pudding until no white streaks remain. Return to the refrigerator until ready to assemble.
• Add the strawberries and sugar to a blender or food processor. Blend for about 30 seconds, until smooth.
• Slice the bananas into ¼-inch thick rounds. You should have about 4 cups.
• To assemble, arrange ⅓ of the vanilla wafers in the bottom of a 4- to 5-quart, wide, preferably glass, bowl, overlapping as needed. Top with ⅓ of the bananas, ⅓ of the strawberry purée, and ½ of the pudding. Repeat the layering twice more, finishing with the remaining wafers and bananas, strawberry purée, and strawberry slices. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or up to 8 hours, before serving.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Beat pudding mix and milk with whisk 2 min.
• Let stand 5 min.
• Top with fruit and chocolate chips.

Steps:

• Separate the yolks from the whites of 3 of the eggs; set aside the whites. Add the remaining whole egg to the yolks.
• In a saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup sugar, the flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in the whole egg and 3 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.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Spread a thin layer of the pudding in a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Arrange a layer of vanilla wafers on top of the pudding. Thinly slice the bananas crosswise, about 1/8 inch thick, and arrange a layer of banana slices over the wafers. Spread one-third of the remaining pudding over the bananas and continue layering wafers, bananas and pudding, ending with pudding.
• To make the meringue, beat the reserved egg whites with a pinch of salt until they are stiff. Gradually beat in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and continue beating until the whites will not slide out of the mixing bowl when it is tilted.
• Spread the meringue over the pudding with a spatula, making a few decorative peaks on top, and bake until the meringue is lightly browned, 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix together the vanilla pudding mix and the cold milk with an electric mixer. Add in the sweetened condensed milk and the vanilla extract. Mix on medium speed until well blended. Fold in the thawed whipped topping. Place a layer of vanilla wafers at the bottom of a large trifle dish. Then add a single layer of sliced banana. Top with about a third of the pudding mixture. Repeat this layering process two more times and top off with some whipped cream. Keep this dish chilled in the fridge until you serve it. You could also make individual banana puddings in small mason jars for an adorable twist on the classic trifle dish.

Steps:

• Place a fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl, and set it aside.
• In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Add the milk, little by little, while whisking to incorporate it fully. Whisk in the egg yolks. Heat the mixture over medium, stirring constantly, until it has thickened and just come to a low boil, about 4 to 5 minutes. Continue to cook the custard while whisking for another minute, then immediately pour it into the sieve, pushing it through with a small spatula. Stir in the vanilla.
• Chill the custard until it reaches room temperature or colder, about 1 1/2 hours. (To speed the process, you can spread the custard into an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Stir often until the custard has cooled, about 10 minutes. Transfer the custard back to the medium bowl.)
• Whip the 3/4 cup heavy cream to stiff peaks. Fold the cream into the custard.
• Add about 1/2 cup of custard to the bottom of a 2-quart serving dish, spreading it in an even layer. Top with a layer of cookies (about 15), breaking them as needed to fit the edges. Slice the bananas 1/4-inch thick, and top the cookies with a layer of bananas.
• Dollop 1/3 of the remaining custard on top of the bananas and, using an offset spatula, gently spread it into an even layer until the bananas are completely covered. Repeat the layering of cookies, bananas and custard two more times, finishing with custard.
• Cover with plastic wrap and chill until the custard is cold and the cookies have softened, at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.
• To serve, whip the 1 1/2 cups heavy cream and confectioners' sugar to medium-stiff peaks. Top the pudding with the whipped cream, and sprinkle with cocoa powder, dusting it through a fine-mesh sieve. Serve cold.

Steps:

• Combine first 3 ingredients in a heavy saucepan; whisk in eggs and milk, and cook, whisking constantly, over low heat until thickened (about 25 minutes.) Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. Set custard aside.
• Spread a 1/2 teaspoon of peanut butter between 2 chocolate wafers, forming a sandwich; repeat with remaining peanut butter and chocolate wafers.
• Place sandwich cookies in the bottom of a 3-quart glass bowl or trifle bowl; top with banana slices. Pour custard over bananas. Cover and chill 4 hours.
• Spread whipped topping evenly over the custard and sprinkle with peanuts before serving.
