Ingredients
Milk Chocolate Pastry Cream:
- 3 cups whole milk
- 3 ounces good-quality milk chocolate, finely chopped
- 1-ounce unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped
- 6 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 ounces thin chocolate wafer cookies (recommended: Nabisco)
- 4 large bananas, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick
- 2 cups sweetened whipped cream
- Milk chocolate shavings, for garnish
Directions
Place milk in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Whisk in both chocolates and heat until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat.
Whisk together the yolks, sugar, and cornstarch in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the chocolate-milk mixture and then return the mixture to the saucepan over medium-high heat and whisk until thickened. Remove from the heat, stir in the vanilla, and transfer to a clean bowl. Place a piece of plastic wrap over the surface of the pastry cream and let cool to room temperature.
Spoon about 1 cup of the pastry cream into a 9 by 13-inch glass dish. Layer the cookies, bananas, and pastry cream in the bowl, ending with the pastry cream. Cover tightly and refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight. Just before serving, spread the whipped cream over the top of the pudding and sprinkle with the chocolate shavings.

My fiancé, a chocoholic, loves me MORE now that I made this recipe. I used his favorite--DARK chocolate !!! & replaced the milk with 1/2 skim & 1/2 Half & Half. I layered it up in a trifle bowl & added toasted sliced almonds to the chocolate shavings garnish! Thank you Bobby! You're the bomb! :

I made this with out the chocolate and with a real vanilla bean, and it was fantastic! I also quartered one banana and thinly sliced it in into the pastry cream while it was still hot. So yummy! Must try. Next time I'll make it with chocolate, we were having a rich dinner and I wanted a vanilla like dessert to pair with it.
