Nutter Butter Banana Pudding Recipe 465

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks. In a 2-qt. non-stick saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the first 5 ingredients. Cook, whisking constantly, about 15 minutes, or until mixture is thick. Remove from heat; stir in the butter and vanilla. Fill a large bowl or pot half full with ice. Place saucepan in ice, and let stand, stirring frequently, until mixture is thoroughly chilled. Meanwhile, cut bananas into 1/4-inch slices. Break cookies into thirds. Spoon HALF the cool pudding into a clear 3-qt. bowl. Top with bananas and cookies. Spoon remaining pudding mixture over bananas and cookies. Top with sweetened whipped cream/whipped topping. Lightly cover and chill 2 to 24 hours. Garnish top, if desired, at serving time. ((NOTE: A shortcut version can be made by using prepared vanilla instant pudding mix and Cool Whip, then proceed with assembly.))

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.

Steps:

• 1. Using a 9 x 13 dish, place "Nutter Butter" cookies in the dish lining the sides and bottom.
• 2. Mix confectioner's sugar, Cool Whip, cream cheese, and peanut butter and spread over cookies.
• 3. Mix 2 boxes of vanilla pudding as directed and spread over 1/2 of the cookies.
• 4. Slice bananas and place over pudding layer, put remaining mixture on top. Top with layer of Cool Whip and crushed cookies sprinkled as a top garnish.
