How To Make decadent banana bread pudding

  • 1
    MAKE BANANA PUDDING (MAKE THE DAY BEFORE - SO HAS TIME TO CHILL): 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. 2. In top of double boiler, combine: 3 Tbsp flour, 1/2 C sugar, 3 egg yolks, 1 egg. 3. Add 2 C milk. 4. Cook over boiling water, stirring constantly for about 20 minutes, until custard is the consistency of pudding. 5. Remove from heat.

In a round 1 qt casserole dish, layer the following: 1/3 custard, 10 vanilla wafers spread evenly, sliced banana spread evenly, 1/3 custard, 10 vanilla wafers, sliced banana & 1/3 custard. 7. Using an electric mixer, beat the 3 egg whites until frothy. Gradually add 1/4 C sugar & continue beating until mixture forms soft peaks. 8. Spoon the mixture on top of the custard, taking care to spread the mixture all the way to the edges of the dish to keep meringue from shrinking. 9. Bake 5 minutes or until peaks of meringue are golden brown. 10. Remove from oven let cool. Refrigerate (bananas may turn dark when chilled).
