Mams Original Banana Pudding Recipe 485

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix 1/2 cup sugar and flour in pan. Blend in Beaten egg yolks and milk. Cook 10-12 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from heat add vanilla. Layer vanilla wafers, bananas, and custard. Start with the custard, then wafers then the bananas, ending with custard. Make meringue of remaining sugar and egg whites by beating with a mixer until thick. Spread meringue over the top and bake 20 minutes

Steps:

• Line the bottom of a 9"x13" with Nilla Wafers. The original recipe called for Pepperidge Farm Chessmen cookies. It tasted really good with the Chessmen cookies, I just prefer the Nilla Wafers. Slice your bananas and layer evenly on top of the wafers. The original recipe called for 6-8 bananas and when I first made it, I think I used about that much. I personally don't like A TON of bananas in my banana pudding (I know, weird). I think four is the magic number...not too many, not too few. Just PERFECT. Combine the milk and pudding mix and blend using a handheld mixer. I've found that using the two small boxes & the 3 cups of milk makes an awesome consistency for the pudding. It sets just PERFECTLY! In a separate bowl, mix together cream cheese & condensed milk until smooth. Gradually fold in whipped cream. Add the cream cheese mixture to the pudding mix & stir until well blended. Pour the mix evenly over the bananas. OMG...SO YUMMY!!! But wait!!.. Layer the remaining Nilla Wafers on top of the mix to top it all off! Looks heavenly, right?! That would be an understatement!!! I made this the weekend my family came to visit and it was a HIT! We practically licked the pan clean!

Steps:

• In a large bowl, place one layer of sliced bananas, then a layer of wafers until bowl is filled, making sure top layer is wafer. Set aside. In a medium saucepan beat eggs, add sugar and mix well, add flour, milk, vanilla. Bring to boil, pour over bananas and wafer mixture. Chill and Serve.
• TIP: FRIED PLANTAINS

• Line the bottom on a 9"-13" baking pan with the vanilla wafers then the bananas.

Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Add butter; continue stirring until thickened to a pudding-like consistency, 5 to 7 minutes more.
• Layer a portion of banana slices over the wafers and cover with pudding. Repeat layers with remaining bananas, wafers, and pudding.
• Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl, gradually adding cream of tartar, until soft peaks form. Add sugar and continue beating on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold in vanilla extract. Spoon meringue over the pudding.
