How To Make original nilla banana pudding

Step 2Reserve 10 wafers for garnish. Spread small amount of custard on bottom of a 1 1/2 quart casserole. Cover with a layer of wafers and a layer of sliced bananas. Pour about 1/3 of custard over bananas. Continue to layer wafers, bananas and custard to make a total of 3 layers each, ending with custard.

Step 3Beat egg whites until soft peaks form and gradually add remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and beat until stiff but not dry. Spoon on top of pudding, spreading evenly to cover the entire surface and sealing well to edges.
