SOUTHERN BANANA PUDDING RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• Separate 3 eggs, set the whites aside for later use in the meringue.
• Add 3 cups of milk to a medium saucepan. Place over LOW heat on your stovetop.
• Slowly add flour, whisking continually to avoid lumps.
• Slowly stir in 1/2 cup of sugar, whisking continually until fully dissolved.
• Use a fork and break up the egg yolks.
• Slowly add the egg yolks to the saucepan, whisking continually to avoid making scrambled eggs. It's very important to stay with the cooking process at this point. Keep stirring.
• Increase the heat gradually up to about medium as you constantly whisk the pudding mixture.
• Using a candy thermometer, bring the mixture up to 170 degrees. Continue to stir it constantly as it thickens. When it reaches 170 degrees, remove from heat but continue to stir.
• Add the teaspoon of Vanilla Extract and continue to stir off and on as it cools down. The mixture must cool down before you begin to assemble the banana pudding.
• When fairly cool, spread a light layer of the pudding in a casserole dish.
• Add a layer of Vanilla Wafers. Reserve about 5 or 6 wafers for topping later.
• Add a layer of sliced bananas.
• Add a layer of pudding mixture, spreading it out to the edges of the dish.
• Repeat the layer process as needed, ending with a layer of the pudding mixture on top.
• Crumble the 5 or 6 reserved wafers and sprinkle on top. If not adding the meringue, bake this at 350 degrees for about 10-15 minutes. Let cool and serve. Hopefully you'll try the meringue.

• Bake at 375°F for 7 to 9 minutes or until golden. Let cool 30 minutes, and serve warm; or chill an additional hour, and serve cold.

SAVANNAH BANANA PUDDING RECIPE - (4.5/5)

• Beat cream cheese in large bowl with mixer on medium speed until creamy. Gradually beat in 1 cup milk, mixing well after each addition.

BANANA PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Make custard: whisk 3/4 cup of the sugar, the cornstarch, milk and egg yolks in a pot set over medium heat, and cook, stirring constantly, until it just begins to bubble, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn heat down slightly, and allow mixture to simmer, still stirring constantly, for 1 minute, then remove mixture from heat. Whisk in vanilla, salt and butter.
• Make meringue: put the egg whites, cream of tartar and 1/2 cup of sugar in the heatproof bowl of an electric mixer, and set over a medium saucepan of simmering water. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is hot to touch, about 3 minutes. Transfer to the stand mixer fitted with whisk, and beat until stiff, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Line a 13-by-9-inch oven-safe casserole pan with one layer of Nilla wafers and one layer of banana slices. (Reserve remaining Nilla wafers for a child or incident of depression.)
• Pour the custard over the bananas and cookies, then use a spatula to spread the meringue. Bake in oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until the peaks are the color of a toasted marshmallow. Allow to rest until ready to serve.
