Ingredients

2 1/2 cups sugar
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Pinch salt
2 (12-ounce) cans evaporated milk
4 egg yolks
1/2 stick butter, cubed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 box vanilla wafers, plus more for garnish, crumbled
5 bananas, sliced
Whipped cream

Directions

In a 3-quart heavy saucepan on low heat, add sugar, flour and salt. Pour in the evaporated milk and stir constantly. The mixture will thicken slowly, about 15 minutes.

Lightly beat the egg yolks in a medium size bowl. Add a ladleful of the thickened milk mixture to the eggs and whisk, to temper the eggs. Add the egg mixture into the saucepan and continue to whisk and cook until incorporated, roughly 2 to 3 minutes.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter and the vanilla extract. Place the pudding into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let cool in refrigerator for 2 1/2 hours.

Into a large bowl or trifle dish, add a layer of vanilla wafers, a layer of sliced bananas, and top with pudding. Add the whipped cream and then repeat the layers. Garnish with crumbled cookies on top.

Very good " and i dont like banana pudding"
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The recipe was fairly easy and delicious, however if you are cooking on an electric stove put the heat on medium to high and... bring it to a boil for the pudding to thicken then turn it back down to low heat.. :)Read more

Awesome Banana Pudding.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My family raved about this recipe. I did half it for my small family and still could have served 6. I used low-fat vanilla... wafers, condensed milk, and Cool Whip. I can't imagine it being any better. We ate it soon after assembling, while the cookies were still crisp, and think it is better than letting it sit; however, it was still very good the next day.

SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS RECIPE
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

HGTV needs to delete this recipe. It is awful. Way too much sugar. It never set. Was way too runny. For begining cooks... this is a total disappointment. Much too hard. Jello cooked vanilla pudding is ok, but why bother when we have instant pudding that works everytime and is excelllent. Have triied store brand instant puddings and they do not dissolve without lumps. Alll you beginners don't even try this recipe. It won't work no matter what you do to it. Feel so sorry for a friend who tried and failed at this . Was a special birthday gift and was such a flop. Read more
