As mentioned by another commenter earlier, if you can't do this recipe, you need to stay out of the kitchen. The custard looks like it is going to be too runny, but once you add the eggs, then the vanilla, then the butter, and let it sit for about 30 min - 1 hr. It has always comes out perfect for me every time, including the first time. Once someone tastes it, they ask for the recipe or ask me to make them more. Very easy recipe. You just need patience. Also, the amount of heat depends on the pot you're using. I have a thinner pot that I cook on 4 (electric stove and a thicker pot that uses 5. I've never used a double boiler. A wisk is the best thing to use when stirring. Good luck!

My first attempt at banana pudding, and I couldn't stop eating it. I cooked the pudding over medium low heat (not in a double boiler, stirring constantly, and though it took quite a while to thicken, it turned out fine. I made the mistake of using generic VAnilla wafers, which were a little too cake-like. They stood up too well to the pudding, and I wished they were more soaked and better incorporated into the dish as a whole. So, spring for the brand name and wait out the pudding!

The receipe definitely takes longer than it says. After reading reviews, I added about a tablespoon more of cornstarch. Mixed together in a saucepan over medium to medium high heat. It will take about 15 minutes to get a little thick. Make sure to keep stirring so the bottom doesn't scorch.

This was way too thin for pudding! What a waste of time and money! Another recipe I have uses the same ingredients but adds a little flour and that worked much better.

The best way to correct this recipe is change the amount of cornstarch. That's the problem here. I would recommend using a minimum of 1/4c. cornstarch. That should do it!

Ok the truth about this recipe. If you think the pudding makes banana pudding, then you'll have to figure out how to make this thicker. It was way to thin. So I tried to make another batch, cooked forever (about 40 minutes still not thickened. I gave up on this recipe.

Thicken this up and it may be well worth it but as the recipe stands it's to thin.

Maybe the consistency is a little soft but I thought it was perfect for this use. The flavor is perfectly balanced too. I added one layer of sliced strawberries and one of bananas and real whipped cream instead of meringue with chocolate shavings on top. OMG!! YUM!! Served at a small dinner party and there wasn't a drop left ! !

This recipe did take MUCH longer than the estimated cooking time, but with a little patience and reading the helpful reviews the pudding did thinken. And the final results were okay being my first time cooking this dish.
