4 Videos | Photo: Mama Daisy's Banana Pudding Recipe
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.

You need to read this recipe and do exactly as it says. The other reviewers who are complaining about the consistency obviously did not, and as a result, they messed up their dish and then try to place the blame on the recipe. This was a great recipe, although it was a bit too sweet. I made it again and cut the sugar in half, and it turned out perfect! Will definitely make this again.

I never rate recipes... but this one I had to. I made this for a party and I was so embarressed. It was overly sweet and never set like a pudding. I do not use prepackaged mixes, but in this case, I wish I would have bought a box of vanilla pudding mix and layered it with bananas. This recipe should be removed from food network site or updated. I am not a novice cook. I own and operate a dessert business. I know how to follow a recipe.
