Old-School Banana Pudding (The Real Deal)

(🍌 Old-School Banana Pudding (The Real Deal!)

(Layers of creamy pudding, fresh bananas, and vanilla wafers—no instant pudding here! 🤩)

Ingredients:

✔ 3 cups whole milk
✔ ½ cup granulated sugar
✔ ¼ cup brown sugar
✔ 3 tbsp cornstarch
✔ 2 eggs
✔ 1 tbsp butter
✔ 1½ tsp vanilla extract
✔ 1 box vanilla wafers
✔ 4 ripe bananas (sliced! 🍌)

Instructions:

1️⃣ In a saucepan, heat milk, sugars, and cornstarch over medium heat, stirring until thickened.
2️⃣ In a bowl, beat eggs and slowly add a little hot milk mixture (tempering the eggs so they don’t scramble). Pour back into the saucepan and stir.
3️⃣ Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. Let cool slightly.
4️⃣ In a dish, layer vanilla wafers, banana slices, and pudding. Repeat layers.
5️⃣ Chill for at least 3 hours (overnight is best!). Serve cold with whipped cream!

💡 Pro Tip: Toast some vanilla wafers and crumble them on top for a crispy finish.
