My hubby enjoyed the banana pudding. First time making the pudding mixture instead of using the box pudding mix. I read the comments about making sure the pudding was thick enough so I did add extra cornstarch. Will make again

I saw the comments so I added the beaten egg yolks to the milk mixture and cooked them together on low heat. Takes about 30 minutes, stirring constantly. Turned out great! Mary C

I'm not really a Bannana Pudding person, but I made it for a group outing. Like everyone else, I had problems with the pudding part, so when I wouldn't thicken I added 2 tablespoons of Jello Pudding Mix and it thickened right up. I also boiled a vanilla bean and scraped the pods into the pudding and added extra flavor. Food Network really should tweak their recipies and add specifics, like how long you bake it for and the temperature. All in all, not bad but I didn't like the texture of the pudding with the bananas once it was cooked.

This pudding is identical to what I make and it is delicious. Everyone who tastes it, loves it. I use 4 egg yolks instead of 3. Even with that, my pudding never thickened up the way I thought it should. So, I just cut my milk and sugar by a little bit and that did the trick. Or you could add a little more cornstarch.

I just finished making this dish. This is the first homemade pudding I've ever made. I used a "makeshift" double boiler and added just a little more cornstarch. I thought it was incredibly easy and the outcome was fabulous!

This recipe was super duper delicious despite the fact that like everyone said it just was not thick enough...After a while we noticed that after we put it into the oven and the topping turned brown that it was still runny and wet. So we left it in the oven for like 30 or 45 mins but it was still the same...the ten minute cook time is way off and the measurement for cornstarch was off also. We recommend that you use double the cornstarch because we put some around the spots that were still runny and it thickened right up so try that but overall it was GREAT!!!

Prior to making this recipe, I looked at some of the former comments. Many of the complaints centered around the pudding not setting up properly or needing to add extra cornstarch in order for the pudding to thicken. So having just completed making the recipe today using the ingredient ratios listed above, the pudding began setting up immediately and the flavor/texture were quite indulgent. I am suspect, however, that the reason other people had difficulty with the pudding "setting" is that the directions do not specify that the mixture must reach a BOILING POINT (even just a slow boil so as not to scald the milk. Everytime I added something, I brought it back to a momentary boiling point. I also used a large sauce pan and a Cuisinart hand-held blender stick to ensure the ingredients remained blended and did not scald. I recommend bringing it to a boil quickly (around medium-high, then backing off immediately to a simmer (medium-low. Good luck!

i have to agree with those who said this didn't turn out very well.
even this morning, mine was still soupy. i have a recipe for a 'swedish pudding' and it's similar in nature to this one, but it always always turns out thicker.
i am disappointed in this banana pudding recipe. won't be using this one again. . sorry for the sad review. also...i couldn't find anywhere on the recipe the oven temp and how long to keep in the oven. by the way, to the person who said you need to 'stay out of the kitchen' to make this...huh? what's the point in that comment? i have been cooking for a very long time, and come from a family of chefs. this was a disappointing recipe. sorry.

The flavor was wonderful, however the instructions are not clear. To thicken the pudding I added and add'tl tsp of cornstarch and melted the butter first then added 1/4 cup of milk, then sugar with cornstarch. I let the mixture thicken before adding addt'l milk this helped the pudding to thicken. I'll try it again but will double the amounts. This made a small amount when layering.
