figgy princess pudding
Very easy and quick to make, and very yummy! Best to serve this the next day; its a perfect desert to have ready to just take out of the fridge and serve. I adapted this from a 1966 American Favorites cookbook series and changed the recipe by tempering the eggs my own way, and adding coconut and figs.

How To Make figgy princess pudding
-
Step 1Toast coconut. Set aside.
-
Step 2Slice bananas and place slices in bowl. Add orange juice. Mash well with a fork until mushy. Set aside.
-
Step 3In small pot, add sugar. Let it heat up for 2 minutes, giving it a few stirs.
-
Step 4Slowly add milk and half and half while stirring. Let this mixture heat up until thick. Let it steam, but don't boil it.
-
Step 5In a separate small bowl, add cornstarch. Ladel in the hot milk and stir to dissolve the cornstarch, smushing away the lumps as you stir. Add cornstarch mixture to pot. Stir well. Turn off heat.
-
Step 6Temper eggs: Slowly ladel in the hot milk into the egg yolks, constantly stirring the eggs while adding in the hot milk. In this manner, slowly add 3-4 ladels until the egg bowl is hot.
-
Step 7Slowly add egg mixture back to milk pot, stirring the whole time.
-
Step 8Stir in figs, banana mixture and half of the toasted coconut (reserve other half for topping) into hot pudding mixture.
-
Step 9Spoon the pudding into your serving glasses or ramekins (I like using small wine glasses) cover those, and chill that overnight.
-
Step 10When ready to serve, sprinkle tops of serving glasses with graham cracker crumbs and the remaining toasted coconut.
